Try them all at home first to see what you like. My gut says the RF 70-200 f/2.8 will give you the best image quality. Full electronic at 20fps would is my guess on the best results as well due to camera shake but you could try the different modes.

Focus bracketing always uses full electronic shutter at the fastest available frame rate. If you have a slow shutter speed it won’t run faster than the shutter speed allows.

I would suggest trying it with the 50/1.8 and the 70-200, both are listed as compatible, the choice depending on subject and what distance you are working at. Both will give very good results. You don’t need the widest aperture, better to stop down a bit for improved IQ. Bear in mind you can’t use flash, you need continuous lighting, such as natural light or LED.
