Hello everybody, I'm new to the list. 

I want a 28mm Zuiko and really like the idea of a F/2.0 lens, but many of
the opinions I see posted talk about the F/3.5 lens having better "pop" in
use. I'd be using it mainly for landscapes from F5.6-11. While I would
welcome the brighter viewfinder image from the F/2 lens, it's the final
quality I'm most interested in. Looking for opinions from someone who has
used both. I know ther is also a F/2.8 version but I hear very little good
comments about that one.

Thanks,
Paul

Do you mean slipping-on the hood with an Oly linear pol. screwed-on?

My experience is to try to slip-on a 50 mm - 35/2.8 mm hood with the Oly
pol. screwed, and it's not possible.

Absolutely.
