[OM] What lens to carry (again)

With all this talk about zoom lenses and travel, I have a
question about "what lens to carry" again.  I have a
limited collection of lenses, and I want to travel light.
I have the following lenses: 28/2.8, 50/1.8, 135/3.5,
28-48/4, 35-70/3.5-4.5 and 75-150/4.  Now my questions:

1) For general travel photography (i.e., a lot of outdoor
   sightseeing and walking around), if I am already
   bringing my 35-70/3.5-4.5, is there any reason to bring
   the 50/1.8 as well?
2) As an additional lens, would you recommend bringing the
   28/2.8 (or is it too close to the 35) or should I bring
   the 28-48/4 zoom to cover the whole range (or is there
   too much overlap with the 35-70)?
3) The only other lens choice I have is either the 135/3.5
   or the 75-150/4.  Should I just bring the two zooms or
   will I be disappointed with the slow speed?

I generally use ASA 200 print film, but I can switch to 400
film if you think it will match the slow lenses better.
Thanks for any comments.
        -Dan
