In this focal range I currently own the Canon 24-70 2.8 L, and the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS L. I also have the Canon 50 1.4 and the Canon 85 1.8.
The 2 zooms are almost always on my camera. However, the best shot I've ever taken was with the 85 1.8. I started out with only primes, but switched to high quality zooms for convenience since they produce awesome shots without switching lenses as much.
However, if I want a shot with the best possible quality (and you can really see the difference), then I go to my primes.
Also, there is some shot discipline with primes. The fixed focal length forces you to frame subjects in ways you probably wouldn't with the zooms.
tl;dr Buy both high quality zooms and high quality primes. After all, we're in this hobby for the gear anyways.
