I have the 24/2.0 & 24/2.8 and also the 28/2.0, 28/2.8 and 28/3.5.
They're all good, but as many users here have mentioned, there's many
usage parameters to consider between all of these lenses. If you are an
available light fiend, like limited DOF effects, etc. the faster lenses
are invaluable. If you can live without the speed, you save considerable
weight, as well as gain faster handling, IMHO. As to focal length, it
depends on you and what you shoot. I am partial to the 24/2.8.

I got a cheap Vivitar 28/2.8 on a trade once, and it was flarey
compared to the OMs, but amazingly good, considering the price.
Best of luck with your decision...
