Buy EF, or the RF 16mm if you want cheap and surprisingly good ultra-wide angle. The RF 100-400mm is a lot of money, but it's over two grand less than the 100-500mm, so it's really quite a bargain.

The RF-s 18-45 is a crop lens equivalent to a 28-70mm f/7.3-10 on your EOS R, and the 18-150 is equivalent to a 28-240mm f/5.6-10. They will be decent kit lenses for the R10 and R7 respectively, small, light, well finished, good IS and good if not spectacular performance, cheap and mostly plastic and glass. With the crop, they will both drop your camera's resolution to 11Mpx, so avoid them like the plague for your camera. Avoid any crop lenses at all for your camera, unless 4k video is your thing.
