Of lenses I have used, the old 35mm 1.4 has been suggested. It's a fun lens, with very useable sharpness wide open and a bokeh with some character. I think it deserves its reputation as a classic lens.
I'd also recommend the 60mm f2.4, not some much for macro where its AF capabilities are annoying, but as a short telephoto. It is very sharp and renders really nicely, and you can get some swirly bokeh.
The 18mm f2 also renders nicely and has very useable sharpness wide open. The extreme corners never get super sharp, so I wouldn't recommend it as a landscape lens.
The Laowa Argus 33mm f0.95 is a stunning manual focus lens. It is sharp and contrasty wide open, which is unusual for a lens in this class. It is also a very heavy lens for its size. Again, it produces very interesting and pleasing bokeh, and is a lens that can be said to give a medium format look on Fuji APS-C.
The 16mm f1.4 is great lens for its near macro capability. It can produce some really interesting close-up shots of small things, where you want some blown out background included.
The 18-55mm and 10-24mm are good workhorse lenses and sharp enough, but I don't think there is anything special (or necessarily bad) about their rendering.
