What's the best portrait lens and for shooting kids? I want something that will work great both indoors and outdoors in low lights and bright light conditions too. Between the 70-200L and the 85L 1.2 or the 50 L1.2 which is the best?

I ask b/c the 85mm lens is quite long for me with my 40D, in my small house. I never use it indoors. It is an excellent portrait lens, and I use it all the time outside for portraits of my 2 year old. So for both inside and outside (for me), I'd do the 50mm lens, based on focal length.
