...you'd have a Canon point-and-shoot! We use dSLRs so we can change lenses...
But, to answer your question, for a 1.6x crop body it would be the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. On a FF body it would be the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L.

<div>Brendan, you'd have a camera on your lens, not the other way around, with that 18"/10-pound monster. Besides, aren't you always telling us to "get closer"? [:P]With a 20' MFD, you might need a bigger back yard!</div>

I think I'd have to agree with your selections, neuro.
If I will have one lens that would be a LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH or a Carl Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 converted for use with Canon EOS body ( if conversion is possible )[]
In the Canon lens line up, it will definitely be an EF 200mm f/1.8 L!
sirhc_1 you cannot adapt the leica noctilux-M but you can adapt the Leica R f0.95, and yes you can adapt the Zeiss lens, however I am sure that this is not your choice if you could have only one lens. For me 24-105L f4 IS

I think so too... the 24-105 beats out the 24-70 in terms of IS and reach, and I think it has better control of CA outside of the focal plane, and I really like the 24-105, and don't want to give it up if I can keep it, but... the 24-70, even if it is a clunky bastard with less zoom range, just makes me happy in ways the 24-105 doesn't (as much). To be honest, I wouldn't bitch about having either.
24-105 f4 IS USM
I'm curious to your compelling reasons for preferring a 17-55 over the24-70mm on a crop body?
