A happy 10D owner chiming in...

You've really got to decide what your priorities are (versatility vs. quality) and what sort of stuff you'll be shooting. Canon lenses have focal lengths of 12mm all the way to 1200mm and each one has its purpose. The subjects and the conditions you'll be shooting will determine what you need.

For instance, I have a Canon 17-40 f4L for landscapes and group portraits, Tamron 28-75 for general photography, a Canon 50 1.8 for low-light and portraits, a 100f2 for outdoor portraits and indoor sports and a 70-200 2.8 for outdoor sports and wildlife.

Dpreview.com is a good source of information and recommendations. All of the lens manufacturers (Canon included) make gems as well as lemons so it's best to do some research before buying.
