hesitating between 2 20mm lenses. Which ones?

Both lenses look severely beat-up. It's too bad that you couldn't use a Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AI-S lens, as there are so many in good shape in your price range.
 
Take a look at the Yashica ML series as well. They come in 15mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Next length up is 135mm (there's a 100mm macro), but there are other Contax/Zeiss 85mm lenses that rolled out of the same factory.

These are vintage 1970s/1980s lenses, and they feature a near-180° focal throw.
 
I generally dont care about dinged lenses.. but the back element of a wide must be good condition.

I have a 20 and two 24s that are unusable (and unrepairable) due to back element marks..

What ive paid for my nikkors..
50 $70
85 $100
18 $1000

that just the way it is :(
