17-55 or 16-85 or FX?

I'm looking for a general, quality "walkabout" lens. I know plenty has been said recently about the 16-85mm lens, I went through the threads and read through the posts and looked at the samples. From alot of what I saw the 16-85 looked a little soft to me though people speak about seeing sharp images. I have a D90 and would like to think I might step up to a full frame unit one day, therefore I am confused as to what to buy right now. On the other hand people are expressing their deep feelings for the 17-55 which will reallty stretch my photographic budget (I'm a relative newbie). I appreciate every post so thank you to all in advance.
