OP already has m.zuiko 25mm . I don't think 20mm is different enough to switch back and forth from one lens to the other.

20mm is more suitable for street shooting than the 25mm, if he wants to spend more money 17mm is an "ideal" lens for street shooting.

50mm equivalent certainly did not get in the way of Cartier Besson
To be honest, in his short list, there aren't many wrong answers, but as I said, if the OP is going to have just two lenses including a 25mm, the 20mm sounds like one no matter how good and well suited it may be. He does say he wants to do street photography, but also travel photography for which I'd go for a wider FoV.
