Re: What prime do you use?
By all accounts the 35 macro is a sharper lens. The pancake will AF on m4/3 bodies should you choose to go smaller. IMO the pancake is a more useful length, but the macro has a very convincing 1:1 magnification.
The way I see it, that's the trade-off.
I'd kill for a 25/1.8 in the high-grade range that wasn't stupid heavy and large. Olympus lags behind in fast primes, and that's really a shame.
Re: What prime do you use?
I am not much to do a lot of Macro shots. My 14-54 and 70-300mm works fine for what I do. Since the 25mm would work on the m4/3rd that could be a big factor with me. At some point, maybe in the spring, I may get an EP-1 or GF-1.
Re: What prime do you use?
Out of those two, the pancake....
But if you don't mind a third party lens, the Sigma 30mm 1.4 is awesome. Very fast, focuses quick [when it finds it] and is decently sharp. Oh and its about the same size as the 35 3.5 and its not very heavy.

Standard Oly manual 50mm f1.8 for me or oly 135mm f3.5
Sharp, fast in the case of the 50mm, but manual focus.
