The Panasonic is a great lens, but do be aware that at the very long end and at f/2.8, it is a bit soft. It's about the only flaw the lens has, but you should be aware of it. If you are planning on using the lens under those conditions, and you are wavering between the Panasonic and Olympus glass, you'd definitely be better off with the Olympus.

It's sharp enough for me.  I love this lens.

It think with it's shallower depth of field it's easy to confuse out-of-focus areas as a flaw when using f/2.8.
