Pentax is probably your best option.
(1) The flange focal distance of the m42 mount and pentax K mount are identical. The Pentax Adapter K just provides a screw thread -- the m42 lens rests directly on the K mount flange, so there are no tolerance issues to worry about.
The adapter stays in the body while changing between m42 lenses.
Olympus OM and Nikon F have a greater flange focal distance, requiring an adaptor with optics to get infinity focus
.
(2) You get focus confirmation. (AFAIK Canon EF-mount bodies require electronics in the adapter to provide this).
(3) Lenses with manual aperture or an auto/manual switch work fine in manual mode. K-mount bodies can't operate the actuator pin on the lens, so auto-only lenses are stuck wide open. (There are workarounds for this.)
(4) Manual and aperture priority modes work fine in most situations (lens is already stopped down).
(5) No matrix or P-TTL flash metering.
(6) In-body shake reduction really works!
