Canon, Tamron, Sigma...in that order. They are actually very close...but the Canon is worth every penny.

I want to point out that if you're a portrait photography none of these zoom lenses would be on my list.

Why not? I mean I would rather have a full frame camera and a 85L and 135L if money were no object, but for crop cameras the 17-5(x)/2.8s are pretty good. What would you rather have for portraits if you were limited to a 1.6 crop camera?

A 50 1.8 and 85 1.8, if you need wide angle just use the kit lens. 17-55 is short for portraits even on crop as the perspective does not change crop body or not.
