Anyone been using the 17mm lens with the E-PL3 underwater? If so, how are the results compared to the 14-42 or the 9-18?

You can not use it because the lens is very short and would vignette in the standart port.
 
with which housing ? EPL3 in Nauticam with 4inch dome a 17mm will do it. or you may be able to use the Oly housing with Zen port to do this. I know of one person who did this kit. I have not used it myself. Wish I could tell you more.
 
I have the 17 and the 9-18. Both are good lenses. I have not used the 17 below water because, like someone said, it would vignette unless there is a specific port for it. There is no port I know of for the oly housing.
The only advantage is the f2.8. Otherwise, the 9-18 covers it's range and is very sharp.
