My vote goes towards the 14-24. I was a happy user of this one, and it worked brilliantly for me. Unfortunately it got damaged after I slipped on ice.. But I think that propensity to flare is overrated with this lens. In fact, as to flare and ghosting it never has bothered me in practical use, and the resolution contrast and colour rendition are simply awesome with this lens. Now I'm saving some funds for the repair bill, and I'll be putting the 16-35 f4 on sale.. while it's not bad at all, it's no match for the 14-24 optically (imho) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
