Street Photography: Olympus 17mm F1.8 or Panasonic 25mm F1.4 ?

My street photography focal length of choice was and still is 35mm or equivalent. It is natural for me. My old time favorite was the 35mm Sunmicron. As to the matter of "daring," I have always avoided "sniping" people with long lenses. I feel it's not right. I just ask people and most of the time they agree and it is wonderful to see their reaction and to photograph their interaction with me.  The way people react says a lot about them. Having done this for over 40 years, I always ask myself what the value of a photo really is. If I feel that it's not great, I just do not take the shot. It was different when I was young and much excited thinking that each photo was a masterpiece that had to be shot at all cost. But aside from my digression, I repeat that the 35mm equivalent is the way to go.
