I did a search here and many shooters said the Canon EF28-70 f/2.8 L USM is a good quality lens to use. Those were some old posts tho so I'm wondering if something better has come out recently. Anything you guys would recommend or use most of the time?

I use the 60D to shoot a lot of web content, and it takes great photos that are plenty big for website use. You really don't need a full frame sensor like on a 5D Mk II, etc. The ergonomics are better on the 60D than on the Rebel, and so is faster and easier to use.
If you're going to go for an L series lens--which is very smart--I'd recommend the 24-105mm IS lens, which is about $1050-1100, and an awesome piece of glass. It's wider than the lens you mentioned (better for video) and more telephoto too (useful for stills), and also has image stabilization.
