The OM-40(PC) is nice, but unreliable at its age, IME.  It may go for 10 more 
years, it may die tomorrow with circuit problems. I'd sell it or make sure you 
carry a backup.

The OM-10 is OK, but I wouldn't trust that one either.  It was a real amatuer 
body, esp with that wacky manual adapter...yuk!

The 1, 1n, 2n are all great, and keepers.

IME the 1n, 2n, and 4ti are the best.  If you're a manual guy, the 3 or 3t are 
great, but the 3t's are too expensive.  The OM4 was a great camera, but circuit 
problems plague that one too; once again, not worth the risk of a failure in 
the field

If you stay with the OM-System, the 4ti is my favorite body, by far.  It has 
the best metering system, HSS flash, AE, and multi-spot metering and durable 
construction.
