Just to throw a spanner into the thinking – I've taken many wide angle, ultra-wide angle and even fish-eye landscape shots, but (somewhat to my surprise) the very best out of my few good ones were taken with normal or tele lenses.
What I find most important in a landscape lens is ultra-high resolution. Because of that my favourites are the 40mm DX Micro and the 17-35mm (both Nikkors, so inconsequential to the original question).
Cheers
Steffen.
