The R7 is a good one, the R8 if you can get a better price. I like the R4s... Besides M6 35 asph summ... the best combination for me has been R7 and 19 Elmarit. Also for some reason the R8 and 100 APO macro gives one a sense of SLR...something. The R7, more so the R8 is good because you will really appreciate the M-R difference for the M6 and R8 both "push it" that, the capabilities that are characteristic of that prototype. Of course many will say the R8 is this or that...I like the meter-equalization - it's like living in the camera - unlike the M6 which in one way or another factors in with the difference/similarity of the M/R. R7 will serve your expectations, I think. R8 may be a bit strange, but offers some nice niceties. R6.2, of course...but then you may want some feature that is R-like, so the R7-8 will protect you from SLR limitation...Oh...money... the LUG will pitch in.
