I use both the 14-24mm, the 16-35mm and the 14mm Samyang. All 3 work great.
You will find when it comes to shooting stars and/or the Milky Way. The camera body will make a much bigger difference in getting sharp, noise free shots. Since unless you use a star tracker which physically tracks your camera with the star movement, you will be shooting at High ISO. You didn't mention what camera you are using, but that will make a huge difference to shoot with.
So usually with the Milky Way, the idea is to get as much of it as possible. Now Pano's are possible with the Milky Way, but can be really tough to do. But that is possible. But usually one wants the wide lens, to be able to capture more of the sky (stars) in the image.
And finally, it's the person taking the shot that makes it all work. Lot's of people shoot stars or Milky Ways, but don't have the proper techniques for focusing, camera settings, and just as importantly post processing. Most star, Milky Way shots take quite a bit of processing to look right. From adjusting the WB, to how you will deal with the noise.
