I was thinking about :
Canon 10-22[/quote]
I have it and love it. What I most admire in it is its absolute flare resistance. It is very important feature in a UWA lens as it's very difficult to avoid the sun without a significant change in the composition. Also, my country is very sunny so this feature is extra important for me.

Canon 17-55 F2.8 IS[/quote]
Again, I have it and love it. Put a gun to my head and force me to live with only one lens and this will be it. I even sold 35/1.4L and Sigmalux (50/1.4) as they became redundant by it.

Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS[/quote]
I had it and loved it but eventually sold it as I shoot very little sports.

Canon 180mm Macro[/quote]
Superb lens, but the equivalent Tamron is just as good, is slightly lighter and significantly cheaper. If my macro subjects were insects I'd certainly choose the Tamron 180/3.5.

Canon 100-400 IS[/quote]
Again, a superb lens for wildlife but personally, I didn't like the push-pull mechanism. A thought: If you get the 70-200/2.8 IS II and 2X TC, I'm not at all sure you'll need this one.
