Can any one suggest which telephoto is best for weddings please, I use a wide angle on one body but looking to get a better telephoto on the other.

L glass or non L glass any suggestions
 
I was thinking L glass but noticed about three version of a 70-200. if anyone can show me similar results for less money then please feel free.
 
I have both the 135mm f2 and version 1 of the 70-200mm f2.8 IS and most of the time will opt for the latter due to reach, diversity of a zoom and also IS. If you can get fast enough shutter speeds then the 135 is great but in many situation I would rather lose a stop and be able to use IS. To hand hold the 135 on a crop body I would say you need to be in the 1/200 - 1/320 shutter speed range (depending on how stable you shoot) so that will involve pushing the ISO quite a bit.

Similar situation with the f4 version of the 70-200, you are regularly going to be scraping some very low shutter speeds so even with IS, if someone moves that will blur the photo.
