So, it looks like my trusty 24-105L needs some repairs

As you say you have the wide end covered already, I don't really think you'd gain anything by switching to either the 15-85 or 18-135 STM. In fact, you'd lose the constant aperture, build quality, and larger max aperture of the 24-105. And some aspects of IQ IME.

I often like to shoot casual video as I'm photographing, so the 18-135 STM is a natural for me, but as much as I like its versatility, I still think you might be better served by repairing/replacing your 24-105.

Good luck,
