After narrowing down the list, I have come to three options:

  1. Canon 18-135 F3.5-5.6 IS nano USM
  2. Tamron 16-300 Di II VC PZD Macro
  3. Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C

Strictly IMO here, but IMO the Tamron isn't going to deliver the IQ that you want and the Sigma is a much more limited range making the 18-135 the obvious choice.  I find that kind of zoom to be a super useful main lens.  You might also look at relative size and weight if those factors are important to you.
