A few examples where I would use the 48\1-8tdisc (to use Travis naming
suggestion):
58135s01 (rounded sides), 464s01, 54096, 61068
For the 48\1-8tndis (less useful I agree), an example would be 3455.
In many case you can stretch a bit the primitive to match the shape you want, so
only a few usual fractions are needed. And they match the cylinders and edges
primitives so they would make several files more compact and elegant.
