Moved it for you.
I can only speak to the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. This is an excellent lens and it offers some wide angle which you may want for landscapes in Hawaii. I bought it for it's low light (for a zoom) and IS (for my not too steady hands) and I'm very happy with it.
The downside to this lens is the cost and that it is an EF-S. If you ever decide to move to a full frame camera, this will not work. At the time I bought it, it was between the 24-70 f/2.8 and this. The IS won me over, but it was a hard decision. It meant I was commiting to crop cameras.
