   I'd take the 90, too.

   And this is why.

   For these kinds of functions, I find the 35mm and 90mm to be a
great combination. Generally I do NOT like lenses wider than 
50mm, but in these situations, I generally find that the 50mm is 
too long when I'm close and not long enough when I'm at a 
distance.

   IMHO, and YMMV, of course.
