Neither, the 35mm Summicron (4th version) is the one Leica lens to have 
if you can only have one.

All IMO of course.

But seriously, if the budget is so tight that you must consider these 
ancient lenses, then I think you are better off buying one the fine 35mm 
Cosina/Voigtlander lenses. They are very good, reasonably prices, and 
much better than either of the two lenses you mention.
