I'd say hold off on getting the EF-S 55-250 IS / EF 70-300 IS USM if you're getting the 70-200 f/2.8. There's a lot of overlap there in function. Unless you really need a smaller/lighter slower lens for travel or something. SLR lenses are special purpose tools, not general ones. That list is like one screwdriver and two hammers. I'd also rethink if you're planning on shaving off $100 by getting the body only instead of the kit. You have no wide-to-normal coverage, and with a crop body like the T1i, everything's going to be longer than you might like. The 50/1.8 II can sometimes be too long to be comfortable for portrait use in a small room. Having the 18-55 IS might not give you low light capability, but you can work close in with it and/or cover a wide angle of view. Most vacation snapshot photos of landscapes and portraits outside can be done with an 18-55 kit lens.
