Probably 70-200 2.8II (plus 2xIII), the 24-70 2.8II, and hopefully a 14 or 16-35.  These are just zooms, someday if I get into primes the tri might change.  ;)

If we're going with lenses I own already, I'd have to go with the widest range & brightest glass, which gives me:

16-35 f2.8L II, 24-105 f4L IS, and 70-200 f2.8L II IS

If I could have my choice of lenses I don't own, I'd swap out the 24-105 with the new 24-70 2.8L II, giving me 16-200mm at 2.8.

I could probably be convinced to swap the 16-35 out for a faster prime and/or a macro lens, as well...

Canon 400 2.8 II IS

I might change out the 400 2.8 for the 200-400 L if I could use it on a 1DX, I think I would miss the stop at night games . . . but the flexibility might be worth it.

I'm a newb, so here's what I'd pick for my crop Canon:

EF-S 10-22
EF-S 17-55 2.8
EF 70-200L 2.8

If you plan on purchasing filters, then these lenses are all 77mm - only need one set :)

of course, if I could cheat, I'd add the 100mm L 2.8 macro.
