If I had to choose one lens for multi purpose shooting I'd use the 24-70 f2.8L . It doesn't have IS but shooting at f2.8 with a high iso plus flash will get you through pretty demanding low light stuff.

The 70-200 f2.8L IS is also a great lens. I use that one a lot as well but it takes the auto focus a long time to lock on in low light plus it's as heavy as a tank.

As a rule of thumb if you are going to splurge on anything it should be the lens. You can't go wrong with the "L" series but they do cost an arm and a leg.
