I am leaning towards the EF-s 15-85mm. If I can get the 17-55 at a good price and trade my kit lens and 3 filters in, I will go that route.

EF-S 15-85 and 17-55 each has pros and cons. You cannot go wrong with either one.

new Sigma 18-35/1.8 super wide zoom is interesting but in short range. With that price/size, I'd move to FF with a F2.8 24-70 zoom instead unless you must stay in APS-C world that itself is nothing wrong.

I will research the 10-22 in future as well. I love to take landscape and with the crop, the wider would be an improvement. I have a limited budget, so any of these is an investment to me and they will be 1 at a time.

10-22 is the best UWA APS-C zoom in its class, better than Nikon or third party ones. It's very sharp and very wide.
