Helios, smc/super takumar, some of the multi coated yashicas, jupiter, Industar, Mir, Tair, Pentacon, meyer orestor gorlitz, the list goes on.
Any of these mentioned in this thread are good lenses that will work as long as they are m42 mount. But there is literally a plethora of different m42 lenses. Personally, Id get one made pre-1975.
Someone mentioned Zeiss "zebra" lenses. Meyer Optik also made "zebra" lenses. Meyer and Zeiss were highly competitive. After WWII, Meyer-Optik was renamed VEB Optisch-Feinmechanische Werke Görlitz as part of the planned Soviet economy. VEB Optisch-Feinmechanische Werke Görlitz was merged in 1964 with VEB Pentacon and VEB Carl Zeiss. So both Meyer and Zeiss were very closely related at one point.
Heres a blog with some good m42s listed/reviewed -
