Can I just in here with a question about shooting fireworks, please?

I've set up a custom mode for shooting tonight with my G3, following advice in other threads (MF, lens set to infinity, 2 s exposure at f8 — but I'm open to suggestions here too) and I've got my tripod ready. My question is which lens to use. I won't have big scenic vistas, as the fireworks will be shot over a town area of buildings and trees. Options are 14 mm, 14–45 mm, or 45 mm.

Here are some shots from the Boston July 4th Fireworks. Unfortunately, heavy rain during the fireworks ruined a bunch of shots.

I'm posting this one which is actually my favorite shot of the night, even though it IS out of focus. I just like the shapes and the abstract feel of it.

Breaking the rules a bit...These were shot with a little Sony TX5 handheld in Fireworks mode. Nothing to brag about, but I was surprised at the results.
