Just to have some flexibility, go for the 24-105L.  It's a great lens and very reasonably priced.  I think if you get another prime you may feel a bit limited.  Buy the 24-105, shoot with it for 6 months and then check out your EXIF data and see what focal lengths you're using the most, buy your next prime based on that data.

That's a very clever idea. The 24-105 is about £600 here in the UK, about $950, and i might be able to stretch to it. How does that compare with US prices?

canonrumours home page has US price listings of canon products in the top right hand corner. These prices are ex-state sales tax levies.

Cheers, if anything they seem more expensive in the US!
