hello depend of you feel, what you want and what is your budget.
FA43 is very expensive. As are FA31 & FA77...
DA25 f/2.4 is very inexpensive and sharper on the corners and has fantastic flare resistance.
If you like primes, going for a set of prime may be interesting. This allow you to have a better quality and maybe even smaller/lighter set. If you have the money, I would choose AF lenses, far easier to live with and I would try to have at least 2 very different, better 3 lenses.
Except if you don't like the DA35 f/2.4, if I was you I would keep it at least for some time untill you have 2-3 more prime covering a wider range of focals and situations. I would not mind replacing the A50 as it lack AF and this can be a problem on some occasion.
For a small budget the obvious choice would be to go for a DA21 and maybe after a FA50 f/1.7, all used. This should be quite affordable. And I would stay here keeping thoses 3 for a very long time.
With more budget, maybe DA21 and after FA77 that would be a good start... You could then see if you want to go for more first (DA15, DFA100 macro, FA50...) or replace that 35mm with an FA31, DA40 ltd, FA43 or DA35ltd...
