As was mentioned before: it's all very personal.

I have basically 4 primes at my disposal: 16 f1.4, 23 f2, 35 f1.4 and 60 f2.4. There's also the 90 f2, but I'm selling that as it doesn't see enough use.

If I go out and stick to two primes, I'll usually take either of these combo's: 16/35 or 23/60. If I take three it's 16/60 with either the 23 or 35, depending on what I feel like and/or what I'm shooting (usually it's the 23 though). Sometimes I also take the 16/23/35 combo. It all depends really...

The 16mm is a stellar lens, but I don't plan on spending that much on a wide angle, and the dimensions are a bit larger than I'd like.

As for the mentioned trio's, 18/23/35 or 18/23/50 are indeed the two most likely options at this point. The former would give a bit more even steps between moderate wide and normal, while the latter would offer a wider range and a "hole" to live with.
