fisheye or flat field?

Colleagues,

I don't know anything about ultra-wide lenses and have questions. For a
rotating panorama camera does it matter if a lens is flat field or fisheye
since a narrow vertical aperture is used?  The choice is between a 15mm
Sigma fisheye and a sigma 14mm flat field.  Are their optical qualities of
fisheye lenses that make them unsuitable for a panning camera? btw anyone
know a url with data on these lenses?

thanks

AZ
