How about a different tack - since the 31 & 77 ARE his favorites, he
chooses based on what will allow him to broaden his horizons on this trip.
And, because it is Hawaii, I think some kind of macro is in order. Given
that it's limited to DA Limited lenses and FA limited lenses, is there
any other "limited" lens choice for macro other than the DA 35MM F2.8
Macro Limited? That also more or less covers the "normal" range for
Pentax's crop sensor DSLRs.
For scenics & landscapes he's probably going to want to go wide - DA
15mm F4 AL Limited is as wide as he can go, so figure it's in.
What else does he need to cover? Pentax doesn't offer any really long
telephoto lens, especially in the DA/FA Limited lineup, so he might be
looking at a good people/portrait lens.
Which do you think would be the better from that perspective the DA 70mm
F2.4 Limited or the FA 77mm F1.8?

The 31 and 77 are two of his favorite lenses. He also speaks very highly
of the 15.
