i understand your confusion. i only listed zooms because the bulk of the replies so far were from users who are using zooms as a primary walkaround. i was also pricing sigma and canon superwides but i just don't really know for sure what would serve me best which is precisely why i value your opinion.
Well, you could probably pick up a used kit lens for around $75 which would get you the wide end and then get the Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro for around $220. This would get you a really broad range with decent quality (better than decent when stopped down), for just under $300. If you get the Sigma 70-300, make sure it's the APO version as the APO version is quite a bit sharper than the non-APO one.
