I don't think it is going to be a case of just picking a suitable lens. The eye roves, refocuses and assimilates on the fly. You need to think about what you see and figure out how to recreate that. For example, you might want to use a relatively small aperture (or stack several shots) to capture how anything in your main field of vision seems sharp but then blur and distort the edges to reflect the less distinct nature of peripheral vision.
