Skip JPEG if need be, but RAW is a must. I'd prefer CF cards as well
(That way you have more upwards compatibility, SD gives downwards
compatibility for an SLR).

would use CF cards, or both.

This is a very good question.
Afterall is is discuntinued. So why bother at all - unless there's an
economical beniefit to doing so?
What made it great was the basic simplicity, low cost and durability.
Manual cameras had the advantage of great versatility as well as
simplicity - at the same time.
Modern cameras can't be, since they're automatic.
I guess a digital body with very few features would do the trick:
AF (manual override) - one focus point
AE (manual override), center weight metering only +/- correction directly
in
the viewfinder (wheel)
RAW/JPEG's at the same time - only.
ISO: 100-800
Self timer
RTF flash
Most important: A price tag around 300 USD.
Call it Pentax KD1000

I vote for either a gold-plated 30th anniversary edition, or another
DSLR that's really a slightly-modified *istDS. ;-) A digital
equivalent of the MZ-M, perhaps? I guess they probably couldn't yet
make it cheap enough to sell in that market.
