I way pass on the 28-135.. I hear bad things about it also. I hear the 18-135mm is not so bad and B&H offers it as a kit sometimes.
As far as primes, a person may get a lot of primes to equal to the focal range of a zoom. I say if you want to focus on primes, I suggest a cheap middle like the 50mm 1.8 and focus on the extremes like 24mm - 35mm on the wide end and 85mm - 100mm on the telephoto and make up the middle ground of the two lenses by walking. You can get the more expensive 50mm 1.4 if you so feel it will be the lens you use most.. but if down the line you buy a telephoto prime and a wide angle prime, you will find that middle grown so close to your wide and your telephoto that something wont get used as much. Try to avoid having a future lens sit on your shelf... or at least not a pricey lens sitting on the shelf.
As far as macro, I have the 100mm macro non IS and it is a great lens but once again, make sure you are into macro or that this will be your telephoto prime because once again, you do not want a lens on the shelf if you will not use it. I have dedicated macro days just to keep this lens active. Macro was something for me to experiment with. I do enjoy it but do not shoot it as much as I would like.
Darkness is the monster and your shutter is your sword, aperture your shield and iso your armor. Strike fast with your sword and defend well with your shield and hope your armor holds up.
