I have the 30mm, I like it but my "street" photography would be flowers, food, door knobs or wine labels and even then it's a bit of a niche lens but it's very light and no bother to carry.

So, I'd say get the 33 or 35mm f1.4(with the 33 being on sale I'd go that way). It's not just the low light capabilities but what you can creatively do with depth of field which will help you get unique perspectives for meaningful photos, especially for portraits.
