Flavio,
That is a question only you can answer, as it depends on your shooting style. The M3 will need a separate viewfinder for all lenses wider than the 50. However, most of the 35mm lenses came with 'spectacles', which enlarge the 50mm view of your M3 to the view of the 35mm lens.
I would not recommend the Summaron 28mm as it is quite slow and surpased in quality by the more modern lenses. Same would apply to the 4/21mm Super Angulon. If you wish to get an excellent value for your money, check some of the new Voigtlander / Cosina lenses. Most will be better than the early Leitz wide-angle optics.
Among the 35mm Leitz lenses you will find the Summicron 2/35 to be the best, but rather expensive. An excellent choice would be a 2.8/35mm Summaron with the M3 spectacles - not that expensive and an excellent lens. Stay away from the 'spectacled' 3.5/35mm Summaron. Its design dates to the late 1940's; it is not bad, but the 2.8 version is much better.
Ciao,
Jan
