Do you need the "best" lens

Most enjoyable

No, after trying higher end glass, I have to conclude I don't really need the very best optical quality. What matters to me is good enough quality that fits my budget and is enjoyable to use.

My most used lens ever was the Fujinon 23mm f/2. It's a controversial lens but I found it sharp enough, small and reliable. Now I moved to Panasonic and bought the 35mm f/1,4 DG DN which is brighter and optically better (sharper, creamier bokeh). I really like it but it's much bigger and more expensive so I don't know yet if I will carry it everywhere like I did with the Fujinon...
