I would go with the 15-35. Awesome lens for landscape, indoor, architecture, and general walk around lens. 15 vs 24mm is a huge difference.

You make a excelllent point.  The 15-35mm is enormously better than the 15-25mm 12-24mm  or 14-24mm zoom which have much less reach at long end.    In many cases I can shoot at 35mm if I have no other choice and crop to 50mm view with the large 45MP R5  and have plenty of pixels remaining.   Even the smaller sensor R6 allow significant cropping when the alternatives require it.

For events and groups of people indoors, 24-70mm is just too tight for me when backing up is not in the list of options.  When I travel I bring the 24-240mm but many time I also go with the 15-35mm for  street shots, indoors and groups.  My one lens travel plan is stretched to just one additional lens.
