WOW! that's a wide open question. What lenses and features you choose is dependent upon what you intend to photograph and under what conditions. For example: If you intend to shoot mostly in good lighting conditions and your shutter speeds are 1/250 or better, you don't need VR (vibration reduction) and wide open aperture can be as high as f/3.5. On the other hand, if you intend to shoot low light than open apertures are necessary, low end between 1.4 and 2.8. plus VR (or IS in a Canon).

If your camera is full frame you must chose an FX lens. If a Crop sensor a DX lens will suffice.

In either instance look for the designation ED in the lens description if a Nikon or L if it is a Canon. This designates high quality glass elements and will improve the images.

Exactly which lens to choose is totally dependent upon it's intended use. Landscape, Portrait, Sports, Macro, Wildlife, Birds or just a plain "walk-around" lens.
