When going full PLL, which PLLs should one learn first?

Just learn any. You will learn them all anyway. But U is easy to start with, and you can use it for OH too.
I already know U(a), U(b), Z, H and A(a)-permutation from 2-look-PLL.

Please, look-ahead next time. See what I did there?

Here's what I did:
I learned the counter-clockwise A-perm first, which is the one where there are two corner stickers matching on the right hand side. Then I learned the Us, H, and Z.
Afterward, I noticed that I could be in use of another A, so I learned it. What really pained me, however, was the E.
The alg I use for it now is (R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U') (R U R' U') (R U R') F U' F2.

Then I learned the T and Y. Easy peasy. Just two OLL cases ( (R U R' U' R' F R F') and (F R U' R' U' R U R' F') ), just in AB or BA form. Then I learned the "sexy" J-perm, the one that is similar to the T-perm. I learned the other J afterward.

Now here was the tricky part: I didn't know which algs to choose for the R-perms. I chose the two mirrors and recognised them with the two swapped corners on right, as I did with T and J, and later F. SO! I learned the R-perms.
Soon afterward came V-perm.

Intrigued by the stupidity of some of the algs I found for the N-perms, I decided to make my own. So I did, and I still use them today.
They are:

I call this N-left because I recognise the case with whichever face has the back corner that needs to be swapped, with the edge swap horizontal.
z U2 R2 U R2 y R2 U2 R2 U' R2 y' R2 U2 R2 Dw' R2.

And N-right.

z U2 R2 U' R2 y' R2 U2 R2 U R2 y R2 U2 R2 Dw R2.

Next, we come to the F perm.
I honestly think I didn't need it, until I got it four solves in a row. I thought to myself, "Meh, stoopid F-perm. I need one."
After browsing the forums briefly, I found an F-perm Lucas Garron posted (which, I figure, had been discussed previously), which here has been posted.
Again, it's R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R.

I didn't learn the Gs. I really don't think learning them is necessary. At best, I got 5 seconds on them each, except one, on which I got 6. My A+E combo does it in sub-4, so I'm happy.


EDIT: Didn't have spaces between colours in the F-perm.
EDIT: Didn't bold and underline the order in which I learned the PLLs.
EDIT: Didn't underline "other J".

from 2L PLL i learned:

The U's
The A's
H - E - Z
(Edges and Corners solely)

Then:
T
The J's
Y
The R's
V and F
The N's
The G's
 
Badmephisto's website PLLs. He orders them in the way he thinks n00bs should learn them. Seriously, go there. I think it goes T, J, Y, R, V, F, G, N.
Wow...i must be a noob i learned them w/o badmephitso's site and went almost in that order...that being that BYU mentioned i would need T Y J R to solve BLD...
