A vote for option 1

The 16-35 f/4L IS is a fantastic lens that's sharp corner to corner across its focal and aperture range. And IS is great any time you will be hand holding. It will let you get interior and night shots you otherwise could not get.

To be fair, the 16-35 f/2.8L III is even sharper in the corners than the f/4L IS version (going by the test images at The Digital Picture). But I'm not sure the gain is worth twice the price and the loss of IS.

The Canon + Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 is cheaper than the 16-35 f/2.8L III. That would be my choice.
