Now I want to buy a 28mm but I am uncertain about the 3.5 or 2.8.

According to Gary Reese's lens tests

you probably can't tell them apart... especially if used at f/5.6 or f/8.

They both take 49 mm filters to match your 50 mm lens and are nearly identical size and weight. In fact the f/3.5 actually weighs a teeny-tiny bit more than the f/2.8 despite being 1 mm shorter.

If the price is about the same then go for the speed since, even if you always shoot at f/5.6-8, the extra 2/3 stop will help with focusing.
