Another vote for the thrifty 50....I picked one up last year during a sale for $125 new. Works well with the 1100D, although you want to stop it down to >f/3.2 to somewhat tame the coma/astigmatism...although you can’t get rid of it entirely. In the bang for buck stakes, it’s hard to beat.
Apparently the 40mm is a teeny bit sharper and better controlled in the corners, but I’ve not used one.
