depends what youll shoot. landscape work doesnt require open apertures and pretty much any WA lens will do since you shoot at f/5.6-16
if its asap then go with the 18-35g for landscapes, anything else maybe the 16-35 will serve you better.
personally, im waiting to upgrade my Tamron 17-35 2.8-4 for the newly announced (though not yet for sale and no pricing as of yet) tamron 15-30 2.8 with VC. its going to be a killer lens. the tamron I have now is pretty much on par with the nikon 17-35 AFS, more or less.
I have a feeling the tamron 15-30 VC will best the legendary 14-24 AFS. my estimation is not before november at earliest and my guesss of pricing is in the $1000-1200. btw, sigma also announced a 14-24 f4 OS. but after seeing the tamron I lost complete interest.

I would choose the 16-35mm f4 without a doubt. It is the lens that is next on my own list to buy for landscape shots.
Here is an excellent review of the lens:

I'm using Photomatix essentials (the $39 version). They have a "pro" version, but from what I've seen it is just more presets which I would never use.
Since this was from 2011, I wonder how the newer lenses would fit in. If I were in the market right now for a landscape lens, I would definitely wait to see how the new 20mm 1.8 performs. It could very well be the best landscape lens ever made (I do wish it was 16 or 18mm though!).
