Assuming that I can still find a Elmarit-R 90/2.8 or Summicron-R 90/2 new (old stock). Which one is better in absolute terms of optical performance? Or should I be looking at a Summilux-R 80/1.4 instead?

In terms of absolute optical performance, it's the Elmarit over the Summicron, easily.  I write this as a very satisfied Summicron user.
