getting a kit lens is okay if your really tight on money. if you get the sigma 17-70mm, you'll have a set up that will be good even when you get better at using it.
you may want wider angle, longer zoom, or a faster lens (f/1.4, or f/2.8 throughout the zoom range), but it will continue to perform well even at your higher level of skill.
I've owned a canon 5d with the 24-70mm f/2.8L, a 16-35mm f/2.8L, a 70-200mm f/2.8L, and a 50mm f/1.4 all from canon. it was a very high end set up.
When I had a ton of bills hit me at once, and I bumped down to the lower end set up, it sucked. but honestly, the quality of what I'm coming up with isn't THAT much worse. I find that I enjoy taking photo's with this set up a little more then the 5d, becuase the 5d was more of a work type set up. I knew exactly what I was going to get, it was big and heavy, and I was just going through the motions.
