IMO, the main reason to use a super zoom is to have the ability to go from wide angle to zoom in an instant.  I own the Sigma 18-250mm Macro and about the only time I use it is when I am shooting a gathering of people .  I sacrifice IQ for the ability to get the shot I want in an instant where swapping lenses would mean I never get it.  IMO, it is better to get a shot with less than optimal IQ than to not get the shot at all.  Otherwise, the Canon EF-S 10-18mm, EF-S 18-55/135mm and EF-S 55-250mm STM lenses are small and lightweight enough to to carry most places.
