Get the 16-55mm, you will not be disappointed.

I have both lenses and they are both excellent, but the 16-55 is much more versatile, so for your stated use-case, it is the clear winner.

The 16/2.8 is what I turn to when either I am hiking, or I want to constrain myself a little bit (usually by taking just this and the 50/2), as I think this helps a bit with creativity.

The camera is not your tool. The light is.
