Why would people still recommend 28-135 IS? If he gets 20D, he should get 17-85 IS. It is 60g lighter, more usable range and 3-stop IS. Based on the MTF chart, it is at least as good as 28-135 IS
Lack of experience with this lens and the EF-S mount...
The 17-85 IS may turn out to be the best consumer grade lens in the Canon EF line-up but it's still too new to tell. A LOT of people have used the 28-135 IS and have loved it, fewer have used the 17-85 IS (loved it or not)
I think a lot of people are going to be on the fence about the EF-S mount for a while. If you own any of the EOS film bodies or plan to own a 1 series EOS body then you can't use the EF-S mount. Sticking to the EF mount keeps the compatibility there.
I'm not saying that EF-S is bad, just that there is a downside...
