I think the FD lens compatible range started with the FTb in about 1970. This suffers from needing a mercury cell which are difficult to find, but information here should help.

The more modern T90 and one of the last FD bodies has most of the modern features, and then some, but no autofocus. However, it's reputed to suffer from shutter failure so beware, as spares are now difficult to source.

In between there's quite a range of models from manual control (AT) through to fully programmed (A1), and then there's the tough F1 and F1n.

Circularly polarised filters should be used as the exposure metering can be sensitive to linearly polarised light.
