I personally find Canon to be the superior lens. I would agree with others to stay away from any of the sub-$180 lenses. I personally don't like the 50 f/1.8 II (the II model is the one canon makes now and it is cheapo to the max, with plastic lens mount non-USM AF motor and all) and much perfer the f/1.4. All of Canon's lenses are either USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) or not USM. USM is a very very very quiet autofocus motor which no other camera manufacturer has quite been able to match. My personal favorite in the Canon line is the 28-105 f/3.5 - f/4.5 USM II lens (NOT the new cheap version that just came out but the apeture range one I am talking about which is much better quality), it is a very versitile, extreamly high quality well built compact zoom lens. After I got my Canon EOS 3 last year I plunked down another grand and picked up my very favorite, the 28-70 f/2.8 L the "L" glass lenses are far supirior to the lower end lenses but they are also MUCH more expensive. As far as a breakdown of all the lenses Canon makes, there is no better source than Canon's book called "Lens Work" it is a wonderful book worth the 30 bucks you can buy it for. Pick up the latest edition at Amazon or at a local camera shop if you are interested in getting into the Canon EOS lens system. Good luck to you.
