There's also the Tamron 18-200 XR and the Sigma 18-200, I suppose. The 18 gives you much more flexibility in the wide end, at the expense of reach. I think it would be useful especially if you are into landscapes. Both give an equivalent of 28-300 in 35mm terms, although from trawling the user reviews, they say that the Sigma is more like a 18-170 when compared to other 200mm lenses.
Mind you I haven't tried any of the lenses above, so do your research...
If you were in the Nikon camp I'd recommend the 18-200 VR...
