Re: 17-40mm f/4L vs 16-35mm f/2.8L

The IQ of both lenses will be excellent on your camera.  The choice really comes down to f2.8 vs. f4 , size and how deep your pockets are.

That said, I would not buy either of these lenses unless you plan on getting a FF camera down the road.  If not you really should look in to one of the APS-C standard zooms a poster above mentioned.  Greater zoom range, IS, and less money for f2.8.
