Which lenses work best with CFV back?

Any views anyone on which lenses are likely to provide the best results with CFV backs? I own a CF 40 FLE which shows very clear soft spots in the corners (at all F's), a CFE 80 which seems OK and an old CF 150 which looks almost the best of the lot (!?).
I will most likely use wide angle most so my main interest is in getting a good 40 or 50 mm first.
Thanks,
Erik

I find my 50 CF FLE, 120 macro Planar and 180 Sonnar to do quite well with my CFV39 back. I have the 40 CF FLE, 80 planar and 250 C T* and loke them but they're not as good as the others. Oh yes I have a 60mm CF and find it to be a good lens but feel the 50 CF FLE to be better. I have a SWC/M as well and have used it with excellent results.
 
Thanks guys; I will start to look around for a CFi50 to start with.
I actually like the idea of having a 50, 100 and 150 mm to work with...
