all round go for the bigger range of focals lenghts.
do a review search then decide from there... demo the lens.
try tamron 18-200mm

as a newbie, I am sure you are still unsure which focal length suit your photography's need. Probably, you can ask yourself what exactly you wanna take...then decide on the lens...

As for 70-300, it is a nice, cheap lens to own, ...is a good range to begin with that will cover most of your needs...Of course I would advise you to take more photographs, by doing so, once you have maximise its (lens) capabilities. I believe thats the time you know what you want. Only then, you will appreciate all those delicated lens like macros lens, prime lens or L Lenses.

Reason I sold off the 70-300 lens is because I am more inclined to birding photography, therefore decide to invest in a prime lens 400mm F5.6/L...
