Cascade and Amarillo go together well, with Simcoe if you can get some.

Fuggles and Goldings for me in my darker bitters. I pair them for both the bittering and flavouring hops with excellent results. It's amazing how different results can be achieved by subtle shifts in the balance between the two.
For my golden ale I bitter with Fuggles then flavour with Styrians.

Once you have used them your hooked.
