Considering that this is in the title of the list, you'd expect to see it in here. There is no kit lens included with this, because instead I recommend item #2 on the list.
Tokina AF193 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon EOS / EFTokina AF193 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon EOS / EF
It covers the equivalent of 30-50-ish mm, and unlike the kit lens, it is compatible with full-frame cameras and film cameras. This lens is built like a tank, and covers a very useful zoom range.

One of Canon's cheapest lenses, this will not dissapoint. It is extremely fast (bright), allowing for low-light/indoor pictures without a flash. It also allows for lots of backround blur for portraits

Here you have two options for telephoto zooms, the Canon or the Tokina. The Canon is excellent, with very fast AF, and has relatively good optical quality.
