Unfortunately as others have mentioned, you left way too many options open.

The 75mm 1.8 by Olympus is famously sharp.

I hear great things about the 15 1.7 for panasonic.

the 30mm 1.4 and 16mm 1.4 by Sigma ALSO have great reputations.

That's as far as I know/have heard, and I will leave others to provide more suggestions and the option to agree/disagree with this

(side note: I've rented an oly 17 1.8, and I also like that lens as an option to the 15mm i mentioned above)

30 mm Sigma is really big and heavy.  I can't recommend it. Panas 25\1.4 is more preferred until you really need 30 mm not 25 mm.
