If the insurance company was giving me the money I would go for the 16-35 for the VR and portability, and filters. That 14-24 looks like a behemouth and I don't think it can take a filter with the bulbous front element. Even at 16mm with the 16-35 you might run into problems with grad filter holders.
I guess the shopping is a silver lining for the whole nasty experience. Did you lose anything irreplaceable?
Don't forget the 17-35 f2.8 which is still around
