I love the Cornell one personally...

EFE Black Acid/black dust is a great example of Si FF but they're quite high gain (although you can tweak and dial back the black acid).
The fuzzdog one knob kit is great, I really recommend it for tweaking values to suit your rig.
A Roger Mayer Axis or clone is good... actually, the Roger Mayer classic is another nice Ge FF. Sounded quite similar to my Creepy Fingers '66 clone. The RM stuff is not convenient in terms of pedal board space, however.
I'd quite like to try a Joe Bonamassa sig FF - not because I'm a JB fan, but because a lot of modern takes on the FF are about maximising gain, sometimes to the detriment of their cleanup properties and overdrive tones.

The best FF for my tastes is the Eric Johnson - but it's battery only and fucking enormous so I can't have one.
I've had bad luck DIYing fuzz faces, ironically, despite them being very simple circuits.* I suspect as much bad NOS transistors as anything else.
* I've built dozens of much more complicated pedals.
