Zoom Lens Kit

What's a good upgrade from the Canon 18-55 kit lens?

I have a Canon 450D with a 18-55 kit lens and I want to upgrade to a higher quality one.
I am looking mostly at telephoto's and super-zooms, like the Sigma or Canon 18-200.
I don't care if it's a Canon brand lens, as long as it has good build and picture quality.

Without a doubt you should get the 70-200mm f/4 L..

Build quality is superb, image quality is incredible and it's L glass!. This lens will last a lifetime.

I have never liked lenses with focal lengths such as 18-200mm, image quality is always mediocre.
