I'll be honest with you - I use mostly zoom lenses, and since I started doing that, I hardly ever look at the specific focal length at any given time - I find the spot that gives me the perspective I want and then zoom to get the framing I want. With that in mind, you will want to know that these people, when I last saw them at least, were both friendly and flexible. You'll need the 8mm fisheye only if you want to do something artsy and creative. When you're standing and the train is running, you'll want a lens long enough to keep you out of trouble; a wider lens might be good for times when its not running, especially if you want to get some candid 'crowd' shots. So, yes, if you have them and pack them, I can see where any of these could be just what you want, but honestly, I'm not very good at specific recommendations.
