An 18-200mm would be an excellent choice, IMHO.

What are you going to use the 50mm f1.8 for? If you're going to be shooting portraits or indoor portraits it is a great choice because with the 1.5x crop factor it becomes a 75mm equivalent lens. Other than that, I don't see the use for one. I have two 50mm lenses - one is a f1.7 and the other is a f3.5 macro - and I find I never use the f1.7 even though it is probably the sharpest lens I own.
