50mm 1.4 EF STM vs RF vs third party? for an R7

I'm a Nikon shooter getting an R7.  With the 1.6X crop factor a 50mm seems like a great portrait lens.  The RF 50 seems like a decent lens, but I'm used to (spoiled) Z S glass, and would like something a bit better overall, but still reasonable and portable.  I've also used just about everything out there over the years.

Is the 50f1.4 STM with the EF adapter the way to go for now?  It seems like the best balance of cost, performance, and size.

I'm getting the 14-35F4L and 70-200F4, but skipping the 24-105 due to the overlap.  I shoot sports, hiking, street, and mix it up.
