Another vote for the 17-40L here. The 17-85 EF-S is also a cracker and the IS makes it a great general purpose lens being that bit longer, but the 17-40L is a tad crisper and has better colour rendition.
The 50mm 1.4 is also a firm favourite althogh FOV is often a problem on a crop sensor, |

Mine is a Canon 28-105mm USM F/3.5-4.5
But usually have the kit lens (18-55) and my 75-300 on the bag. |

Mine is still the kit lens (Canon 18-55mm). Although lately I've been considering other options as the barrel distortion and converging verticals problem have become more apparent! I liked the days when I didn't notice these things!

The 28-80 Nikon kit lens for me - it does what I need it to do

My 300D has a very close relationship with a Tamron 28-300 XR3i Ghia (some random letters
) . Not the fastest bestest lens but it gets the vast majority of outside shots at a level of quality that my budget is happy with .

Nikkor 18-70 kit lens for me. Glass isn't that quick, but the focussing is and it's sharper than any other lens I have (unfortunately), apart from my 50mm f/1.8...

I would probably say the Canon 24-70L was my walk around lens. It offers the best compromise between wide angle and telephoto; it’s very sharp and has a constant 2.8 aperture. It is heavy but you soon get used to the weight
