I have only used 4.  Here are my views:

Best Bokeh - 35 Summilux (non-ASPH)
2nd best - 35 Summaron f3.5 in screwmount
3rd best - 35 Summicron
4th best - 35 summicron asph

I have never used the 35 summilux asph so no comments.  I am of the
impression that the quality of bokeh is closely linked to the degree of
spherical aberration, coma, etc.  The ASPH is the purists' dream but might
well be an artist's heartache.

I am basically an artist at heart.
