[LargeFormat] question on some enlarging lenses

With some other equipment, I received two enlarging lenses that I had 
put away. At the time, I was not expecting to ever go to large 
format.......

Anyway, my questions would be, of the following two lenses;

Rodenstock Omegaron 135mm f4.5

Schneider Kreuznach Comparon 150mm f5.6

1. Which, if either, would you recommend for 4x5 negatives?

2. OR junk both and get something else?

3. Any pros/cons from someone who has actually used either lens?

Both appear to be in excellent condition with no faults. They will be 
used on my Omega D2V, Aristo cold light head and most of the work will 
be at 11x14 with some 8x10 and maybe 3 or 4 16x20's a year.

TIA.
