Here's my 2 cents.
I'm currently on a trip with my 20D and 35/2, 85/1.8 and 135/2.8 SF. In my opinion this is an excellent travel package. It's quite good on my 20D, but would be even better on a 1.3x crop body. All these lenses share their shades, which is really great IMO. Even just the shallow shade of the 35mm will keep out most stray light and protect the lens from accidental bumps, while staying discrete. All lenses are small, light and fast. The 85/1.8 is the champion of course, but the others still beat any zoom in the photographic department while still focusing quick enough, even though they lack the ring-USM of the 85mm lens. Finally, the 35mm and 135mm lenses have tiny 52mm filters, and the 85/1.8 has 58mm threads. So, I have a simple 52-58mm step-up adapter and share 58mm polaroid and ND grad filters between these lenses. This sharing of accessories helps keeping cost, weight and bulk down.
When going to a bright and sunny location, I might choose zoom lenses. However, on a december trip to Europe, the a midday shoot still requires 1/100s at f/2.0 with ISO 100. Primes are very useful here.
