I've had the older version of 18-135 and while not bad optically, it wasn't really great at wide angle, plus its AF is quite slow.

15-85 gives significantly wider view with less distortion, much better sharpness, faster AF and is also better built. to me this choice is easy.

The old 18-135 and the new 18-135 STM are different lenses . . . here's a good article that describes it and compares it to the 15-85.
