I really like my 20 mm wide angle lens which I use on both my Nikon F4 and D3

I have the amazing 12-24 mm, but it is a DX lens. The FX lens is the 14-24 mm

My Sigma 10-20 is one of the 2 lenses that I ALWAYS carry with me. It is absolutely superb for landscapes and interiors.

Both the Tamron 10-24 and the Sigma 10-20 are DX lenses, so strike them from the list.

There aren't really many available FX ultra wide angle lenses.
The Nikkor 14-24 is one.
The Tokina 11-16mm/2.8, despite of being a DX lens, also works on full frame at 15-16mm. Basically it can be considered a 15mm prime lens on FX cameras.

Get the 16-35mm. 16mm is as wide as 11mm on DX. The 14-24mm is wider and a really good lens, but it is heavy and expensive and not as useful day to day as the 16-35. You don't really need the f/2.8 unless you are shooting in low light… In which case I'd go for the 17-35 f/2.8. The 20mm f/2.8 is a good budget choice.
