35/2 
Imo, the 35/1,4 is to big to be usefull in real life,
But ask Eric for the opposite advice.

Almost equal, but I prefer the f1,4 because I also have 
the 100/2,8 Apo.

100/2,8 the best short tele in the world.
(except for portrait, that's why the 80/1,4)
And the 100/2,8 + Apo extender 2X, is almost as good.
