Size and weight are key factors for me.

I'll probably start with A33 + this kit or 35/1.8 to start with.

Both the 18-55 kit lens and the 24/2.8 are light and small, and unlike the 35/1.8 they actually provide the focal length/s that match your specified requirements. The 35/1.8 is equivalent to 52mm on FF, which IMHO is neither fish nor flesh - too short for portraiture, too long for street and landscape photography. I'd get the kit lens. Dpreview wrote that it challenges for the crown of best all-round kit lens (judging by their studio tests), so it's probably a sure bet for the extra $100 that it costs over the price of the camera.
