Lens for meteor shower

So the Perseid meteor shower is supposed to be going on tonight and tomorrow night. I was just wondering what lens would work best for trying to get a shot of one.

I have the 450D with the two kit lenses - 18-55 and 55-250. I also have the 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

Would the 2.8 help me pick up a little more light to hopefully capture one of the meteors?

Thanks a bundle
