Canon EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Canon EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM
I want to buy one of these this week. I am leaning towards 17-55, seems like a better walkaround choice.
Oh, and before March is over, THIS is still available. :)

I might shoot some shoes for you soon.
Om my God! Shooz! :-)
and then... after a few months... also the 10 one. :)
I a few days I think. :)
And what you are looking for, intimate indoor low lite, no flash, that you are soooo good at? Of course the 2.8 is going to be pretty much better for that. But not as good as your 50/1.7! (I'm still in the learning phase with my 2.8. I brought it out with me for the last two nights in low light bars and restaurants, and have not been too impressed with it. But in well lit situations - it's freaking amazing. I need to start playing with the ISO too, my camera will go up to 3200). But like you said for a general walkaround lens, this one can't be beat.
But geography, architecture... then the 10-22 is going to be just incredible, nothing like an amazing wide-angle pic. And where you live and travel to, damn that would be a fantastic option... plus it's about 1/2 the cost.
I know. This didn't help. LOL. But good luck with your choice. :)
Yes, for now I think I'd prefer to stay in my comfort zone, low lite, no flash stuff. Because I really like doing that. 2.8 seems great for that. Not as great as 50mm/1.4, but I would love to "step away" a bit at times. I try hard not to go higher than 200 with ISO, although my cam offers (completely useless) ISO 25600. Imagine the noise.
How about buying 17-55 now and then 10-22 in a couple of months? :)
I used my 2.8 last night at a dinner..... and it was wonderful! Just about the limit of low light, and I pushed the ISO to 3200. Worked splendidly.
So, when do we see the pics?
darn it! can't make it work, and I have to get to work. Will try later. :(

The reason i would go for 10-22 is that you know the subject and if you want wide angle or not and when you choose wide angle this is your lence.
