Heck Bob, I had an ordinary Rodagon N 135 and remember it as one helluva fine lens.
It just wasn't a focal length I used very much.

I had a Componon 150 that was excellent at home and a 135 Nikkor at work, I liked the Componon better. I always felt Nikkors had one or two very good fstops, while Componons were very good everywhere except wide open or closed down. In practice I used f11 and f8 mostly and those were the best stops for the Nikkors. So it may not make much of a difference.

Hello,
I for one would keep the brand I've the most lenses of.
why ? Imagine you're planning to make an exhibit, and you've to print negs in various sizes and age, having the 50 the same brand and age as the 80 or 135 lens will ensure a consistent rendering. And it sometimes shows.
Last but not least, neither lenses are bad in your set, use all of them with a glass carrier and you're done. Normally I think the mounting thread is the old Leica one on both so you may use the Schneiders in the diffusion enlarger and vice versa.
Just my 2 cents
