Top 5 pieces of Le Creuset cookware?

I recently won a competition with my hubby and get to purchase some new cookware! I've been eyeing Le Creuset for some time now and am now down to the task of deciding which pieces to add. We are a family of 4 (have a 4.5 yr old and 18 month old) and may considering adding one or two more in the future. In addition we like to entertain and I love to cook, but am by no means a professional chef. Cost and weight are two of the biggest cons I know to the line, but I'm not too concerned about either at this point. The big question is this (to help me narrow down my selection):

What are your top 5 favorite Le Creuset pieces?

The ones I am considering are the 3.5 qt braiser/buffet, the 6.75 oval, the 12" skillet, the 2 qt 2-in-1 pan (offered by Sur La Table).

Should I consider the 5.5 qt round over the 6.75 oval? We make large amounts of soup, spaghetti sauce,etc. Is the 6.75 qt large enough for a turkey? There are no stores where I live that carry the cookware, so I am going on descriptions provided online as far as size.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
