Lens question for you photographers

I need a good allround travel lens for my Canon EOS 400D. I'm not a great photographer or anything, I just love to take pictures and want to improve

These are the ones I've looked at so far:

Canon EF 50 f/1.8 II
Sigma 28 f/1.8 EX DG Macro
Get one of those for indoor and low-light conditions.

CANON EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
CANON EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM (Got decent reviews and covers pretty much all you need for travelling. But 4-5,6?)
CANON EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM (loved it when I tried it, but costs a little bit too much)
SIGMA 24-70 f/2.8 DG Macro EX (Good reviews and good price)
Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 AF DI XR SP (Seems like a great lens)
Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 Di II LD (Might be a little short with 50)

Why I'm leaning towards the Canon's is the IS, since my hands are not the most steady ones ;)
But the two Tamron's and the Sigma have 2.8.

Please give me any input you might have
