Both are good lenses and you will be happy with either of them.

I would choose the 18-55 as it's optically stellar and it's really well made. You can use that lens for years while the 16-50 is made a bit cheaper (plastics).

One more thing: While it's unmarked, the 18-55 does have the advantage of having an aperture ring. Since you're new to Fuji and most of the lenses have aperture rings, you could use this lens to get used to that. It's a pleasure to use.
