I'm looking for advice choosing prime lenses...

Panasonic 14mm F2.5? Oly 45mm F1.8? Panasonic 20mm F1.7 perhaps?

I have these three and I'm happy with them all. The pancakes are very compact but still good performers, and the Olympus is great for subject isolation.  I'm sure you'll read more nitpick feedback (20mm is a touch slow to focus, 14mm is good but not stellar) but at the end of the day I've used them all to make photos and prints (up to 16x20) that I've been very happy with.
