I would go with whatever gives you the field of view equivalent to about 24-90 on 35mm, which probably means the 10-20, 35/2 and 50-200. You're a photographer - save weight and bulk by eliminating other stuff from your kit, like clothes, food, water and shelter. If you can't do that, then take the 10-20 and the 50/1.4.
