Between a 24 f1.4 L and a 16-35 f4 L, I'd easily go with the 16-35. 1.4 isn't useful for lanscapes anyway, but IS definitely is.

Or even a 24-70 f4 L.

I find that an ultrawide like a 16-35 can actually be quite challenging for lanscapes, in the sense that it requires some practice in composing photos for it. It can be surprisingly easy to cover too much in the frame that the picture becomes flat and uninteresting. I find that UWA greatly benefits from compositions with a strong foreground for better conveyance of depth and scale.
