Technically there is no "best combo" so to speak. The best combo will depend on you. Which focal ranges u use the most, if you require tele/WA/normal lens, zoom or prime, fast lenses or super zoom lenses etc. i suggest you google about all these first, check out your options, then decide

Personal preference: 15-85, 17-55 and 70-200

for crop,

i think 10-22, 17-55, 70-200

 

[tecnica]

i tell you what i use la, you go and judge.

10-22
17-55
70-200L f4 IS
50/f1.8(which never see action at all)

 

[Fudgecakes]

Well I use my tokina 11-16 and Nikkor 70-200 which I upgraded from the sigma one

 

[SkyStrike]

No point asking people what they use...what they use may not be what you want/like to use...

anyway..
- 10-22
- 17-50
- 55-250 (May go for 70-200 f4L IS)
- 50 f1.8 (Seeing more action after owning it for ~8 months and keeping it in the dry cabi)

If I have to choose again,
- 10-22
- 18-200
- 30 f1.4

Im currently on 7D with 10-22 and 24-70.

Originally, i got my 24-70 first with body. Then I was struggling with getting 10-22 or 70-200 f4. After reflecting my shooting habit (simply look through my photos and check my focal length). I found out that I prompt to shoot more of a wider angle and sometimes I think that 24mm on crop is not enough for my shooting habit. Therefore, I choose 10-22.

Long story short, I think its best to know what's your shooting stlye and your habit before getting a combo. Who knows if it is just a want but not a need.

Different people have different preferrence, you won't get the answer here, instead you will be slammed.
I am happy with my 17-55 + 70-200 combo, as I don't do much on UWA.

Hehe ok this is to poison ts further:
10-22mm 3.5-4.5
30mm 1.4

on a more serious note.. You can always rent before you buy. This will help you in making your decision.
