For your general purpose, for a small, lightweight carry-around lens, my vote would also be for the 23mm f2. You could also go a bit wider with the 18mm f2. In full frame terms these lenses are 35mm and 27mm equivalents.

There is a reason why fixed lens cameras like the Ricoh GR3, the Leica Q, the Fuji X100 series and most smartphones, are made with 27mm - 35mm equivalent lenses.

The OP seems to have a tendency towards wider lenses, so perhaps a 14mm or 16mm is the way to go in this instance.

One way that can help you decide on which lens to take: do an IG or Flickr search for various specific lenses and look through the photo pool. Look at the overall viewpoint of the various images and decide which lens(es) best match your photographic style. Even with many years of experience, I occasionally do this when I am stuck deciding which lens(es) to take with me.
