Body: Olympus E-PM2

Currently I have

- Olympus Kit lens II R 14-42 f3.5-5.6

- Panasonic Lumix GX 45-175 f4-5.6

- Olympus 17mm f1.8

Right now I feel I am pretty well covered when speed is not important and I slap on the 17mm when I take the camera out at night for better low light performance.

I was thinking of either getting the Olympus 45 1.8 or the Sigma 60 2.8 next for a faster medium tele / portrait lens / background blurring.

Or a 14mm f2.5 pancake to always keep on camera to put in jacket pocket. (Don't know how useful this is as I already have the 17mm and the kit lens covers 14mm but its significantly smaller than both)

Or if I can find a good bargain than the Pan Leica 25mm f1.4.

You want to get something that complements your kit that you already have. The 14mm and 25mm might be a bit close to the 17mm you have. I'd go for either the 45mm or 60mm. My preference is the 45mm because of the faster aperture and more useful focal length. I'd find 60mm a bit long but that's a personal preference.
