Time for me to actually pick a few 'jellybean' parts.

The main one I am having problems coming up with is a good jellybean=20
MOSFET.  N Channel, Probably at least 60V, current isn't all that=20
important - enough to drive a LED or two.  Probably in a SOT-23 package=20
or similar.  Oh and 3.3V logic compatible.

I'd just go for the 2N7002's since the 2N7000's have treated me so well=20
(even at 3.3V), and they're like definitely jellybean pricing - less=20
than 3 cents at reel quantities..  But I can definitely see in the=20
charts that 3.3V doesn't seem to be quite enough to really switch them=20
fully on.

Other MOSFETS in the same price range all seem be basically similar=20
creatures - usable thresholds, but pretty high full-on voltages.  So=20
far, I'd just live with the performance of the 7002's - a few ohms at=20
3.3V isn't horrid for me, and very widely available.

Which part did I miss that fixes the percieved issues with the 2n7002's,=20
and is at most a few cents more at reel quantities?

And if anyone would like to chime in on other favorite jellybean semi's=20
such as bipolars or P-Channels, etc, that would be great.
