I would consider the 18-135 or the 15-85 (which I use as my default lens).

I would not want to be limited by a 5.6 lens for events. A 2.8 zoom here or even a few primes would be my pick. Maybe even the Sigma 18-35/1.8 and a 50/1.4 or 85/1.8. Sticking with the OPs picks, it would be the 17/502.8 OS or 17-55/2.8

Yes that's true, I'm primarily looking for a lens that can provide a very wide aperture as I intend to be working on events in various lighting conditions, recently I used an f4 in a low light situation and it didn't handle well.

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll have a look into those combinations. I was considering an expensive prime alone but I'm concerned I'll still miss the gap in between.
