Adam,
From the reviews I've read,the 550D does sound like an extremely good camera.
The EF-S 15-85 is a very popular choice as a first non-kit lens. However, I'd recommend the 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM instead. I have one of these (as do a few guys here) and it is awesome. Really sharp, and at f/2.8 across its range, is two stops faster than the 15-85. Add to that the IS (not essential, but handy) and it's a winner. A bit more expensive, but a lot more lens.
Cheers,
Jason.
