They're all sharp enough that other considerations are more important.  For example, do you want to focus closer than 2 feet?  In that case the 60 is better than either 50.  Will you need f/1.4?  The current Summilux-R is an outstanding lens, but it can't be used on a Leicaflex or SL.  Is compact size and light weight important?  The Summicron-R wins here.

With these lenses, optical quality is not an issue.
