My rating for f-stops, for a subjecct (landscape) where focus was 50 feet away.

1.8 - 1 star, with veiling flare.

4-11 2 stars

f/7.1 had the sharpest far corners, but f/2.8 wasn't far behind. I'll be using f/2.5 to f/3.2 for the majority of my shooting, and will try to limit use of f/1.8, even though I really like narrow DOF shots.

That is a bit surprising. I thought from other reports that f/4 was the sweet spot. Different criteria perhaps? What were your criteria, and how did you prioritize them?
