You know I would skip the prime and go for the Tamron 28-75. It just is a more all around useful lens and still has a great depth of field for shots. I got a prime first but then got tired of not being able to zoom in or out, so then I got the 2.8 one and it does not come off my camera, unless I break out the 75-300. But I ONLY use that one with a tripod and for setting I cannot get closer (baseball, performances, etc) but again these don't typically work well in low light unless you get a high end one.
So now my prime sits there unused, because realistically I don't need that many shots that have an aperature of 1.8 vs 2.8. So I'd skip the extra $100 and put it towards a lens that you will LOVE. And yes Tamron does make good lenses, and significantly cheaper than Canon ones.
