The Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM is a pretty nice lens, with very fast AF. Its loCA may need some correcting at times.
Manual 85mm f1.4's may need a Canon super precision focus screen, I think the one for the 5D is called Ee-S?
Which one would you be thinking of? There is a Zeiss 85mm f1.4, old Nikkor 85mm f1.4's which can be used with adapter, Samyang 85mm f1.4, you can even convert a Canon FD 85mm f1.2 to EOS mount.
The SIgma 85mm f1.4 offers AF, but it does not offer much more blur than the Canon (oddly enough).
And then there is of course also the new Mitakon 85mm f1.2.
