I'm of the opinion that the 200 f/2 is the best lens in the lineup but the 300 is right next to it.

I find the 200/2 a very hard-to-justify lens though, unfortunately. It's got amazing image quality, but it's only one stop faster than a zoom lens I have (as well as a prime for SIGNIFICANTLY less money). The 300/2.8 is more than a stop faster than the 100-400 (maybe two stops); the 400/2.8 is two whole stops faster, and the 500+ aren't covered in a (Canon) zoom. If I was doing more portrait work, the 200/2 would pop higher in the list, but it's tough to lay down that much cash given the margins on portrait work.
