New guy excited with his SL1 has some lens questions.

*New guy alert*

I picked up a used SL1 recently and am excited about getting back into the hobby after many years. I'm mostly interested in shooting outdoor/wildlife type stuff for now. I have some questions on lenses I should be targeting.

I currently have:

-Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens (newer version available?)

-Canon EF 75-300mm f/3.5-5.6 III

-Pentax SMCP-FA 28?-80mm f/3.5-5.6 (came with package, will probably sell)

I'm eyeballing:

-Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS STM

-Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM?

I may swap my 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM for a better version if there's one to target. I was also thinking I could get by with just the 18-135mm and sell my 18-55mm. If I get the 55-250mm, I'd sell the 75-300mm.

So I'm thinking I'd be good with these two for most of my needs:

-Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS STM

-Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM?

I'm confused on the STM models I'm targeting including possibly upgrading my 18-55mm and which is the best one/revision to target?

Thanks for any input.
