Still taking opinion >though, so feel free :-) You said in your earlier post your 'one lens' is a 24-70 zoom, correct? When you only have that one lens, where do you find yourself using it most often? If it's on 24mm most of the time, get the 24mm prime. If it spends more time zoomed, you'll probably prefer the 35mm.
