I had both the DA14 and the DA10-17. The DA14 is excellent for this work. It's a very fine lens, best performance at f/4.5-5.6, with very little rectilinear distortion. And it focuses very close.
The 10-17FE is fun. Never could figure out what exactly to do with it, but always got interesting results that worked well.
