Steve,
For general coverage, your best bet is still the unabridged
Liddell-Scott-Jones-MacKenzie, usually abbreviated LSJ. It isn't cheap,
but worth the money if you venture outside the NT/AF much.

by Henry G. Liddell, R. Scott, and Roderick McKenzie
Edited by P. G. Glare
Oxford University Press, 1996
2378 pages, English, Cloth
ISBN: 0-19-864226-1
ISBN13: 978-0-19-864226-8
List Price: $160.00
For early Patristic literature, there is Lampe, A Patristic Lexicon, but
it isn't cheap, either.

For Septuagint, you have two choices in dedicated lexica:

more...
