Kit lenses are sort of a mixed bag, however, since this is your first DSLR (am I correct in thinking you haven't used a 35mm SLR?) it may be a good idea to go with the kit lens for the first 6-12 months. That should be long enough to learn your system and get comfortable. Another thing to consider is that you may not know right now what focal lengths suit your style best, using the kit lens will help you figure that out. Image quality isn't going to be jaw dropping, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to take great pictures.
