Which is the better Canon zoom to go with these three fixed primes?

The 3 fixed lenses i was thinking about going with are as follows


Canon EF 28mm f/1.8
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8

With those 3 lenses would there be any reason to add a zoom such as the
Canon EF 15-55mm f/2.8 or maybe Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom.

If so which of those 2 zooms would compliment those primes the best.

Thanks

You don't seem to need the zooms but it seems the best compliment would be the 70-200 since you don't have anything past an 85mm
 
Im shooting mostly music videos and documentary type stuff.
Boulder...that was what i was wondering..
If i have the focal ranges covered with the primes and at a faster aperture there would be no reason to get a zoom that covers the same ranges?

If you have those primes than wider prime lenses may be a better choice. Check the distortion on the 15-55mm at photozone.com. Also not much reason for the long end of that lens with the primes you have already.
Personally I'd add a 15mm and 20mm, then your set to shoot your feature.
