Well, of course there is doubt:  there is much doubt.  More than a few of
us find the 35mm lens boring.  

I'd opt for a current 2/50 Summicron or a used 1.4/50 Summilux.  But, there
is no "best choice" in the sense of a "one-size-fits-all".  Figure out what
YOU want to use, what your style calls for, and match that.  My choice
would quite possibly not be yours!
