This is classic analysis paralysis. Both lenses perform sufficiently well to not worry about any tiny differences that any observer to your images is ever going to notice. So the decision comes down to whether you want a wider, lighter and slower lens over a faster, narrower, heavier more premium feeling lens, that's it.

With its more effective OIS the 16-50 looks like a better bet to me as you yourself prefer the wider fov of 16mm. No-one obsesses about edges and corners except photographers, make your choice and concentrate on better compositions using your chosen lens and you'll soon forget about them too.
