Yes
Which of these is best performing and sharpest?
 
On what body?
 
What are you wanting to shoot?
 
Ah yeah never noticed that! Lol
 
35 or 50mm?
 
I had a 7000 and 7100 and I can't say how good the 18-35 1.8 art lens was! It was better than any other lens I'd ever used! I used it for portraits
 
Yes that's the one I want but budget won't go that far at the moment
 
I think that's what I'll do thanks
I borrowed one off a mate on a night shoot and took a pin sharp 5 minute exposure shot of the stones at avebury and I went straight out and bought the lens! View attachment 38216

This one shot sold it to me
 
Lovely though I'll probably go for the 50 1.4 art, will better than 18-35 for my purpose
 
If you trust DXO then there are no super sharp 50mm on the D7100.

I'm in a similar loop (which is how I fell across your post).
Presuming your not super rich and writing off the Zeiss,
Based purely on sharpness, DXO will have you go for Sigma 50-150 2.8 DC, Sigma 18-35 1.8 DC

The top overall scoring lenses from DXO are Sigma 3.5 1.4 DG, 85 1.4G or 85 1.8G

If you want the 85 1.8 you have a couple days left to get the cashback
 
I never had any bad experiences with Nikon AF 50mm f1.8 D on any Body film FX or DX
