Go with OD-1. It's one of my all-time favorites, although there are some variations: silver screw, NEC chip, 14-point pin, etc. The latter is little pricey, but if you just get a "regular" OD-1, you can get some nice screaming OD tones.
Although you should consider an EQ just to shape the OD color.
SD-1 is pretty good, especially if you can score an earlier MIJ version.
I haven't experimented with OD-3 yet, but I imagine it's similar to PW-2...?
BD-2 is nice. In fact, I bought a Keeley modded one and it shines! |

I love my BD-2 for the fact that it doesn't eat low end, whereas the SD-1 and especially the OD-1 do.
The OD-1 has a much nicer midboost than the SD-1 though, that sounded really cool IMO. |

I doubt that the OD-3 has a PW-2 like sound. The PW-2 has a very unique dirty and harsh sound that an overdrive pedal normally shouldn't deliver - because it's quite unwanted! I like my PW-2, though! 
And the BD-2 was not appealing to me. I love my Marshall Bluesbreaker II and the Blues Driver doesn't come near to that creamy sound I want. But that's a question of taste, as always! Keep on bluesing YOUR way!  |

| I've got a really nice OD-1 that simply needs a new input jack and is looking for a new owner |

You really want to ship it overseas? 
EDIT: is the input jack broken or noisy? |

nah I was just saying I have one on offer...
of course I'll send stuff overseas but mostly it's not worth it for the buyer due to shipping costs and custom fees.
and regarding the input jack.... it's broken.... one of the little silver connectors inside the black plastic thingy is a bit loose and can come off when inserting a plug.
it's just a few � and two solders but I'm simply to lazy to find out where to get those BOSS style jacks. |

| Okay, MullyFX. In case of crackling jacks I would have recommended a way to clean it effectively. |

+1 specially if you plug it on tube amps  in my place it's the holy grail of Boss ODs, #2 is the SD-2.
i've got a chance to use an OD-1 last week, it's a great OD (i'm GASsing for one) |
