most common pot values?

[gutsofgold]

I'm building a little breadboard module that will let me setup circuits and have hardwired pots, switches, and jacks already installed. All I would need to do is tap into the in and outs, throw a switch on there, and hook up any neccessary pots...bam! I think 6 different pot values should have me covered, what do you recommend? Perhaps three Audio tapers, two linear, and a reverse audio?

One interesting approach I've seen to this problem is to have a row of 1M pots and use resistors across the potentiometer lugs to simulate different values and tapers. It's not perfect, but it's better than swapping pots on a breadboard setup

 100k audio for output volume
  1 meg..when 100k just won't do it.
  500k because it's between those two.
  1k...or 500ohm...sometimes you need fine control over a small resistance.
  Below a certain point of value, reducing a pot to a smaller value via resistors makes for a wierd taper...sometimes that doesn't matter.
  100L for tone control.
  Another 100k for intermedaite gain / volume type control.
