I've tried out lots of fisheye lenses in the course of my VR work. So far, the Leitz 16mm fisheye elmarit is the best resolution and flare wise. An added advantage it has is that it follows the ideal fisheye mathematical projection - other fisheyes don't and thus images they capture have to be polynomial corrected if you are going to stitch them together into one 360-degree seamless whole.
