Wide angle vs. fisheye

Alright so i'm having a slight issue in getting a lens for my dvx100b. First off i film a lot of extreme sports and need a wider lens to keep everything in the frame. I would like a .3 fisheye. I would buy the lens offered by century optics but the vignetting looks really bad. Video will be posted online and for tv. I would lose the vignetting on the tv from what i hear but would still have a problem for web. I understand i could zoom in past the vignetting or crop in post. However would it be better to get:

a) .3 century optics and zoom in or edit in post

b) .6 century optics (i understand there is no vignetting zoomed out) link below:

c) .4 cavision lens (I don't anything about this brand) here's a link for the lens:

d) or something really cool i don't even know about.


Thanks guys,

ps i searched through posts on this topic but didn't find anything about the cavision lens.
 
get the FEWA lens by century/schneider. ive got it and i film snowboarding and its the perfect blend for exxagerated shots while still keeping your footage professional looking rather then that "skater" cheap crap look
