For a do it all lens - I suggest the Tamron 18-200. $200 shipped from Amazon, BH Photo, or Adorama
I was putting them on student cameras and was impressed enough that I got one for my general use. It is sharp, well-built, and affordable. Has wide, telephoto and macro -- at f3.5-5.6, it isn't the fastest thing out there, but you'll pay a lot more for f2.8
