You're not going to get any better advice than from our very own landscape master above. Totally agree with H. 17-40 is a fantastic landscape lens on a FF camera, but on your crop body you'd be looking for something a little wider like Canon's 10-22, the Sigma 10-20, or the Tamron 11-16. That Tamron is extremely popular, you may not be able to get a hold of a copy due to demand/availability.
On a crop body, my recommendation for a walkaround lens is the 17-55. I had the 24-70 but swapped it because I found it just wasn't wide enough for me. YMMV. I know the 24-105 is highly favoured as well, just that the 24 wide end doesn't suit me personally, but everyone's different.
The above assumes you'll be sticking with your crop body for some time. If you are thinking about going to a full frame camera like the 5D soon, unless you don't mind selling and buying some new lenses as well, you may be better off with a slightly different lineup.
