Here's my choices from this particular rental place:

Prime:

85mm f/1.8 USM $25.00
135mm f/2.0 USM $22.00
200mm f/1.8L USM $55.00
300mm f/2.8L USM $60.00
400mm f/2.8L USM $80.00
600mm f/4.0L USM IS $120.00

Zoom:

16-35mm f/2.8 LUSM $30.00
17-35mm f/2.8 $23.00
28-70 f/2.8 LUSM $30.00
35-135mm f/4.0-.5.6 $25.00
70-200mm f/2.0 LISUSM $35.00
75-300mm f/4-5.6 $25.00

It seems to me like either the 28-70mm or the 85mm would be the way to go. Since the latter is in accord with your suggestion, I think I'll go that way unless somebody has a good reason that one of the others is better.
