I've had all of the lenses you mention so here goes;
33mm 1.4
I'm using this on the X-H2 and have used it on the X-H1 in the past. Even on those camera's it's quite present. Beautiful lens, excellent build quality and equally impressive in terms of output. I wouldn't get it as a daily lens due to the size / weight.

35mm F2
I've used this on both the X-T2 and the X-H1. Really enjoyed this lens and at F2 WR, in my opinion really a steal. Focal length wise probably my go-to allrounder in the Fuji line-up together with the 33mm. It's a small lens and therefore really good for everyday use imo.
Not wide enough for landscape imo.

16-55 2.8
I've used this on the X-H1 and X-T2. Image quality is impressive but so is the weight and size of the lens. It's heavy and I prefer internal zoom instead of external. Performance wise one of the best zoom lenses you can get. I prefer my 50-140 though in terms of focal length and overall performance. Can't compare to the 16-80 in terms of sharpness and overall build quality imo.

16-80 F4
Got this lens together with my X-H2. Tried it for a few hours but similar to the 16-55, I didn't like the external zoom and I'm not a fan of any F number exceeding 2.8. The 16-55 is sharper but also heavier / more expensive etc.
As an all-purpose lens that's mostly used outdoors, I'd recommend based on the price. For indoor use I wouldn't go for this lens.
No sample shot available as I sold it after a few hours of use.
23mm F2
I've not actually owned this lens but have used it for a few weeks on my X-T2. Very similar to the 35mm F2 in overall experience, great bang for your buck if the focal length is for you. For me it's fine for landscape but too wide for overall use. In that case I prefer the 33 / 35mm on the Fuji or even better, the 28mm on the Leica.
Small, super easy as an everyday lens.
Hope this helps!
