BFRPG has become my most often used set of OSR rules over the years. The clear and simple set of rules has allowed me to play campaigns with adventures from OD&D on with little conversion effort. AC adjustment is almost instant and for later edition games I cut the HP of baddies to 2/3 listed total; spells are either just played as is or swapped to an equivalent of the same level.
