I'll vote for the HM with the Noctilux.  I am of the impression that they
are a perfect match.  It's nice to have the meter and also the frame lines
to fit a 35mm lens when you need it.

There is also good reason to have an M3 if you have some cash left over to
afford at least a user one.  They are built like tanks and are a joy to
bang around.  I carry one with my 50 Summilux lens (only) on my trips into
jungleland.
