that's quite a difficult question to answer without knowing how you plan to use them. I used to have a 28/2, the 70-210/4 and the 35-105/3.5. I loved the 70-210/4 - fantastic lens. The 35-105/3.5 was a good performer but weighs a ton and I found that I did not particularly enjoy using it. I'd bought it to bridge that gap (old advertising slogan). I often looked at the A35-70/4 but it felt rather plasticky compared to other lenses in that series, and I didn't particularly like that zoom range.
