The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM Lens  is their best, most versatile most general use lens. However, that's just a shot in the dark since you gave no needed info to suggest a GP lens.

There are cheaper options that fall into this general FL.

Yes, an R6 Mii.

We'd need to know what lenses you own now, so we dont recommend something you already have.

Do you have a budget that would be helpful too.

I own a:

70-200mm 2.8 Z

100mm 2.8 Macro

24-105 4

2X extender

 

I was thinking of buying a 16mm 2.8 or 35mm 1.8. Not sure if either would be better than what I have though.

Well 16mm possibly but you already have 35mm so you already know if you like or use that FL. I stopped recommending any prime lenses unless a person has a specific use for one. Zooms are so good these days a prime  just doesn't make any sense.

Your next thought is the 35mm f1.8 is faster. And, yes, it is but do you need faster? If you do need faster that is a specific need. Right? The R6 Mk II has pretty darn good high ISO remember.
