It always depends on what you plan on shooting most. I got my camera mainly for close up shots in sports so I needed a fast lens and got the 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens. Its a dream but it can be over kill if you do not need that much of a zoom.
If your just starting off the lens kit is a good way to start. But of course you will need better lenses later on. A good everyday sort of lens that isnt that expensive is the Canon 28-105 f/3.5-4.5.Its a good everyday lens that probably wil not come off your camera anytime soon. But if you have the money to fling around I would recommond these:
1. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens IF you need speed
2. Canon 24-105mm f/4 IS L lens if you do not need that fast of a lens but its still quite fast
3. Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens for telephoto. You can get the lil brother the f/4 if you dotn have the money
4. Canon 50mm f/1.8 for portraits
5. Canon 14-40mm f/4 if wide angle.
The list can go on just depends on what you need it for.

if you are just getting started buying lenses the three I'd recommend are the 17-40 f/4 L, the 50mm f/1.4 and the 70-200 f/4 L. They'd be around $1700 total and you'd have a nice range of coverage with great quality lenses.

Depends on the type of shooting you want to do.
There is a guide on one of the Canon web sites that has a lot of info on types of lenses based on types of shooting (interior, landscapes, portrait, etc). It also show how something looks at different focal lengths.

Click on cameras, then click on EOS, then click on any of the lens groups a little further down the page (the boxes on the rt side change, click on the one called "EF Lenses 101").

I use these lenses:
50mm for portraits
100mm macro for just that, macro.
100-400 L IS for animals
I sometimes use my kit lens, but not very often
my all the time walk around lens is the 28-135 IS; love it!
