IMO many of the cheaper superzooms are a real compromise, and generally have relatively poor IQ. Yes they are convenient, but the IQ you will get out of a 18-55mm + 55-250 EF-S combo will easily best the IQ of certainly the Sigma and Tamron options (not sure about the Canon 18-200mm).

Perhaps look around for good used kit lenses as mentioned above - many people upgrade from them, so they are usually quite readily available, often with low use in great condition. Yes, it means changing lenses, but that is what DSLRs are all about - otherwise we would buy superzoom compacts.
