Do you like telephoto work?  I use a tele zoom (85-250) a lot in the midwest 
but I like to substitute the 180/2.8 when the length is right because the 
contrast is a little better and probably sharpness too (the zoom is awfully 
good though).

The 21/2 seems like a great lens, but I am just not attracted to it with a 
21/3.5 in the arsenal.

So it would be the 180/2.8 for me.  It's a big hunk of glass, but if you need 
inspiration, check out C.H.Ling's portrait entry with it in TOPE 5.

P.S. Is there a right answer to this question? ;-)
