Which is better

[dicklaxt]

1. reversed 50
2. reversed 18-55
3. reversed 28-135,to much weight stress on adapter/lens
4. reversed 70-300,to much weight stress on adapter/lens
5. Ext tube,normal 18-55 and reversed 50 combo
6. Ext tube,normal 28-135 and reversed 50 combo
7. Ext tube,normal 70-300 and reversed 50 combo
or any of the above combo's without the Ext tube

or am I getting carried away?

You didn't really specify for what :)

for 1:1 shooting - set of ext tubes with the 50mm (ie 50mm of ext tubes) probably easiest and excellent optically, reversed 50mm onto the body - excellent quality - not so easy for aperture control.
for 2:1 I'm guessing a 50mm lens reversed onto 50mm of ext tubes.

for 0.5:1 to 3:1 zoom macro a body reversed 18-55mm.
These are just what I would try first.
