8. Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds - I have never read the series

We both should read it. :-)

6. The Culture Series by Iain M. Banks - I have never read the series

You should rectify that.

4. Triplanetary by E.E. "Doc" Smith - this is on my reread list

You can't talk about space opera without Doc Smith, but this is an
odd choice.  Why a single novel and not the whole Lensman series?
And if you select an exemplary novel, _Galactic Patrol_ would be
my pick.

1A. The Foundation Series by Issac Asimov - yes

Whut!??  That's no space opera.
