For professional reports of lenses, I would go for sites like this one where the lens is tested for distortion, vignetting, resolution and chromatic aberrations.
For others, I would go for sites like dpreview, dcreview or letsgodigital.
this report, in letsgodigital ,has a very reassuring statement about Olympus lenses :
"...... The high standard of optical performance ....... will meet the requirements of the most demanding professional photographer."
Probably one should leave the subtle differences to the professional photographers and not to worry whether one lens is better than the other. Even among Canon lenses for example, it is believed that 'L" series are better than others but not everybody wants to invest in an 'L' lens which may cost more than the camera itself.
So, back to your question, there is no problem with Olympus Zuiko lenses and there is no reason to make you avoid E510.
