Advice on selecting a new lens?
I own the digital Cannon Rebel XT. I of course have the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. I have owned two zoom lenses, 75-300mm. The first was a Quantaray and the second was a Tamron. Unfortunately they both broke on me, and I hardly even got a chance to use the Tamron. I know that, for the money, I liked the way the Quantaray worked, even if it was a little loud and slow in auto-focus.
I am working my way into doing more portrait work, as well as wedding. I know that most pros would suggest that I buy a prime, but right now I am still interested in a zoom, preferably in the 75-300 range. Any advice on what I should get. I would like to spend less than 500, but if I get enough recommendations for a higher end Cannon, I might just have to follow the advice. 
If you want to do weddings, it'll be in your best intrest to start saving up for some pro glass instead of the cheaper consumer lenses. There is a visual and noticeable difference between the two. Less distortion, better contrast, faster apatures, and superior sharpness. Lets not also forget that these things are built like tanks. They're nowhere near as fragile as the two you previously owned that broke.
These two will cover most of your bases.

Everyone says prime, but those two will outperform the f/1.8 50mm that I'm sure someone has recommended to you.
