What "modern" lenses would you choose if money was no object for use on 5x8 with "plenty" of room for movements, sharp center-to-corner and as "relatively" small/lightweight as is practicable given the other criteria?

Focal lengths from approximately .33x to 2x.

My choices:
72 SAXL
110 SSXL
150 SSXL
210 Apo Sym-L
300 Fuji-C
450 Fuji-C

The closest I have is a 5x7 and the longest lens I'll use is 14" APO Artar. It's painfully sharp, followed by a 300 Nikon M, then a 240 G Claron, (also sharp as tacks) and a 215 Ilex Acuton and 159 WA Velostigmat "yellow dot" borrowed from the 8x10.
