the 18-135 is a lot better for being "Flexible" but the truth is, the more zoom range you have on a lens generally the worse quality the pictures you take with it are going to be. There are exceptions of course, but you generally get barrel distortion, or pincoushioning at the focal range edges (18 and 135) Also the sharpness and contrast usually suffers some serious degredation near the edges wide open, and even at like F/f
Also the 18-135 is a f3.5-5.6 lens, so wide open isn't very "wide" So you generally want something closer to f2.8 (or f2.8-4 something like that) Lets you get brighter pictures in low light, and controll the DOF more.
Problem is f2.8 zoom lenses are usually quite expensive and you won't find one with such a large zoom range, (17-55, 24-70 that sort of range, not like an 18-135, or 18-200)
