Whatever you already have and are comfotrable using.  Fixed focal length
lenses have the advantage of having an IR mark for defocusing, although
if you shoot with a small aperture this may not be an issue.

Then again, you might decide to not use a lens at all.  I've been
shooting pinhole IR with excellent results and hope to upload a couple
of examples to Cor's page within a few days.
