Thank-you all for your replies and analyses - the jury is in and I'll go for the 24!
However, any reason Canon issued two lenses that are so similar? I probably would have jumped on either one by itself but having this choice kept me from buying either so far. Seems like poor marketing strategy unless there is a bona-fide market segmentation issue between the two lenses that I'm unaware of (and I'm sure I'm not the only one with analysis paralysis between them).
Some people have a strong preference for either. Some photographers shooting people and events really want 28mm because that's about the point where if you go any wider anyone near the edges of the image will look weirdly distorted, and they don't want to be cropping hundreds of images (nor having to get the framing right when shooting without visual guidance). On the other hand, 24mm has become very popular because it's where you start getting images with a more 'dramatic' and noticeable perspective effect, but without the greater challenges of more extreme wide angle lenses (both for composition and image quality).
