I'd definitely go for the 18-135mm STM lens of the three listed. I have used the 28-135mm lens and the color and contrast on it were horrible, not even taking in to account the sharpness, not being wide enough on crop sensor, and the zoom creep that will happen sooner than later. I've never used the 18-200mm lens but I feel pretty comfortable in saying the image quality you will get from the 18-135mm STM lens will be far superior. I have the other STM lenses (10-18mm, 18-55mm - which I have not used a lot, and the 55-250mm) and they are all great. I have heard great things about the 18-135mm STM lens and if it's quality is anything like my 55-250mm STM lens, then I think you've got a clear choice.
