If your need is much more specialised and you demand a certain amount of reliability against rough usage, the more expensive EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is the logical choice. Go for the EF 50mm f/1.0L USM, the world's fastest lens ever made for any AF 35mm SLR cameras only if you have one of these two reasons: 1) Basketball and other indoor sports photography is your livelihood. 2) You have enough money to spend on exotic lenses like this.
