Get the better lens 18 55.  I understand everyone says concentrate on your learning but

Performance helps keep enthusiasm high.

The 18 55 is reaallllllly good.  And can be almost the only lens you need for many pics as it is relatively fast, and very sharp.  While it is nice to have something wider than 18 and narrower than 55, this is a well thought out range.   As far as selling the other lens it is always good to have a second one just in case but funding may not allow.

I have the XC 16 50 and it is a well adequate lens as well but not compelling like the 18 55 in terms of performance.

I just received a 10 24 it is excellent as well, but the Tiffin 72mm Polarizer I bought with it is pretty soft.

So if you have any filters on a lens make sure you understand the difference with and without.
