I’d pick something with IS that is sharp wide-open. The RF50 STM fails both those requirements.
Depending on how you want to frame the shots, I’d pick the 15-30 or 70-200.
The OP is using an R5, so lens IS is not necessary. There is no need to use a lens wide open for focus bracketing, in fact it’s best not to use wide open in order to have smoother focus transition between frames. The RF 50/1.8 is beautifully sharp across the frame at f2.8 or f4.
So you could equally well conclude that the RF 50/1.8 succeeds on both counts.
The colors are muddier on the 50 1.8 though compared to the 70-200mm, that's part of my preference to recommend the 70-200.
I don't disagree about colors but wouldn't 70-200 be significantly more difficult to handheld stable enough for the stacking?
I think the IS paired with the R5 is pretty darn good but I guess that would be something to experiment with.
