Lens recommendation for Canon xxxD

Could anybody advise me on new lens selection? I am aware this is not a lens forum, but I better ask Canon camera owners…

I have a 7 years old 350D and a kit IS lens, bought later (when kit IS became available). Camera is obvious near the end of its life cycle. As for the lens, its plastic filter adapter thread got damaged and does not accept a filter any more. So what to upgrade first? I think lens. Old camera will still live with new lens for some time, but I don’t think it makes sense to buy a 600D of 60D and use it with old lens. Correct me if you think I am wrong.

So which universal inexpensive lens for xxxD or xxD camera would you recommend? I don’t want to pay $800 for EF-S 15-85 IS USM though I know it is probably the best candidate. What about other Canon lenses or probably third party lenses for Canon?
