Another vote for 17mm.

The 17/1.8 is my preferred lens for street, but then I regularly shoot at night so I need the wider aperture. The 17/2.8 is half the size if that makes a difference.
And if the pancake interests you at all, pick it up now while it's $100 off from Olympus. At that price if you go to sell it you won't take much of a hit. (As someone said, works out to a cheap rental)
The 17/1.8 is on sale too, but at twice the price. You might also find it for less used.
