I had this same question and went with the 17-40 for two reasons.

1. there isn't a very pronounced depth of field with a super wide angle, so the difference between f/2.8 and f/4 is negligible.

2. you have the 5D3 as well, which is fantastic at stupidly high ISOs, so the loss of one stop isn't a very big deal

With those two factors in mind, at half the price of the 16-35, the 17-40 was a no brainier for me.

When I had the 17-40, I found myself longing for a 16-35 when I just wanted to use it indoors as an all-purpose lens.

Otherwise didn't feel the urge. But then I didn't have a body good as a 5D3 so for you I think the 17-40 would be more than enough

Since you're on a crop, why not go for a 17-55 f/2.8 or the Tamron and Sigma variants instead? They're cheaper than the 16-35L and has IS.

I used to use a 5D2 when I had it. If it were just for my cropper I'd go with a 17-55, although with the dropping prices of the 5D2 I'd just save a little more for that + 17-40 again.

In that case, the 17-40L is a perfect match unless you really need/want the 2.8.
Here's another from the 17-40L, I think it handles distortion quite well.
