In lenses I would use for video, the zoom and focus direction is very important to me because every screw up I make a wrong turn its documented.  For me the 17-50/2.8 OS and 24-105 are my main video lenses.  I would probably use the 18-35/1.8 a lot for video and the 1.8 would be awesome, but the lack of stabilization and wrong turning rings are what has kept me from upgrading my 17-50.  For a 150-600 type of lens where I would mostly shoot stills, I probably wouldn't mind as much.
