Depends on what you shoot. I agree with most comments here, adding the following:
I would group 20/24mm together, then consider a 35mm. Makes a nice 20 (or 24) - 35 - 50 - 85 prime set. If you want only one lens below the 50mm then I would say the 28mm merits consideration, it a nice "balanced" focal length between the really wides and 35mm. For landscape uses, I'd say any of the Nikon f1.8 AFS lenses would be great.
An old film era suggestion, when zooms were not quite high IQ, was to approximately double the FL to have coverage with the least lenses. So if you started at 24mm, then 50mm, then 100mm, then 200mm. Not quite so clean at the wide end as each drop in mm can have a huge difference, but than I couldn't afford anything below 24mm back then anyway.
Lastly, for group shots, if you use a high MP body, the 20mm can be cropped a little and still provide useful files. Just keep people away from the edges of the frame, and keep the body level.
