I went with the kit 28-135 after reading countless reviews – it’s a great “walk around” lens and fast enough for my needs. I also picked up the EF 24mm as I wanted a slightly wider and faster prime.
The kit is a great lens, but your needs will depend on the type of work you’ll be doing or shots you want to get. Also, you might want to rent a few (rentglass.com is fantastic, I’ve used them for a few jobs where I had specific needs that didn’t justify a full investment) to see what you prefer; however I’d go with something generic to have on you at all times, and then you can rent as you go.

I’d also recommend the 50mm f1.8 it’s only 100 bucks. and it’s a great little lens, it’s fast and pretty sharp.
