    basically, when it comes to both f-stop and angle, the lower the number the better IMO. As your basic lens, you want wide angle, not zoom.. so the 17mm is definitely the better lens. A 28mm angle looks like it was taken with a compact- so generic.

    F-stop, you want as low as possible, here the higher number is completely irrelevant. even in direct sunlight you can just up the shutter speed.. but in low light you dont want your shutter speed too slow or it blurs. And the wider your aperture the better your focal depth.
