Okay, I think I have a list (which is bound to change)
Tchaikovsky
Beethoven
Mendelssohn (Op.64)
Bach (A minor)
Dvorak
Felix and J.S. interchange places now and then.

In the case of the former, that sounds like a job for Super Sr. M!
Consensus critical opinion (for whatever it's ever worth) recommends Heifetz.
Speaking for myself, though, I have the Francescatti/Bernstein NYPO version of Brahms (part of the Sony 'Royal Edition,' mated to Sibelius VC). For Bruch 1, I have Zukerman/LAPO/Mehta (Sony Essential, nee CBS Odyssey, nee Columbia Masterworks, mated to Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole), and am most content with both discs.

Actually, I just got a CD with the Bruch piece. As I am unfamiliar with this composer, I got the first one I layed eyes on and it's Perelman/Jesus Lopez-Cobos. (Also has Scottish Fantasy.) Im really enjoying it so far.

Heifetz... Agreed.
I'd go even further with Neveu, Oistrakh, Haendel, Kreisler, Szigeti and De Vito.
For Bruch 1st Kreisler is always a good choice.

The Kool-Aid must have started to kick in.  It's very slow, though.
