shoot with the kit lens for bit longer, keep an eye on which focal lengths you use the most, then you look for lenses in that focal range that suits your style.

always hitting the 18mm side? you might want to try a wide angle lens

55mm? maybe something that goes to 70 or 80mm.

mostly below 55mm but above 18mm? find an "upgrade" to your kit lens.

I think that may be the best way to pick a good lens without too much confusion and wasted time/money.

The most COMMON setup I know is something wide (17-40, 18-55... etc) and something long (70-200, 85...etc). I think those 2 will cover pretty much everything you'll ever need.

cheers
