The zoom will give you the most possibilities. That gives you room to explore longer focal lengths. The faster AF and OIS will allow some action shots too.

If you already know you don't want to go there, but prefer portaits, low light and such at a moderate focal length, the 56 is for you.

You could buy second hand, and when you don't like the lens as much, you hardly lose any money as you can resell it again. If you do like the lens, keep it and buy the next lens in a few years. You will have more experience and a better idea of what you need.

I have quite some lenses now, but I did not buy them all at once. I love each one of them for its own strengths.
