I would say the 15-30 or 17-35, but you didn't list them, and Pentax don't make them at the moment! Personally I would wait and see what they come out with when the DSLR comes, but if you cant wait 'maybe' the 20-35. Bear in mind if you get the DSLR that this will become a 30-52 which isnt really that wide any more.
The 300 to 600 will become a whopping 450-900 on the DSLR!!! You better be sure of some serious tripod mounting to hangle this baby, even at full frame for film. I am actually not too sure about either of these options if you want to look forward to the DSLR, but if you like long reach I would go for the 300-600 as it will get you seriously close! I just don't think the 20-35 has the longevity you are after. The big pity of the DSLR is that I will probably not make much use of the fabulous 24/2 with it! This is my second favourite lens after the 77 ltd.
