I would stay away from the zooms altogether until you get to know your camera. Start with a 35mm f2 and an 85mm f1.8, both inexpensive and very good and faster than the zooms. Use the 35 for general photo in the beginning, landscapes, etc. and the 85 for portraits and subjects where you need the tele. The 35 will do very nicely for video. When you know what you really want and need, then look into zooms. The lenses you quote are good, but much slower than the primes.
