Which lens would go for my t1i SLR camera for sharper photos?
I have the t1i canon rebel. The camera came with a kit (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens)
I like taking pictures of my friends, portraits of them.
I want a really sharp lens. With great quality. I can only afford a $500 new lens. I was thinking some of these...

Which one do you think is the best, or if you have any better lenses you can suggest?
If you are looking for a portrait lens, I would suggest you get a 50mm. At your price range, you can purchase a Canon 50mm f/1.4 which costs around $300-400, the cheaper Canon 50mm f/1.8 is also a good lens and will cost you only around $100. These lenses can shoot in low light conditions and gives that ideal sharp focus, but also the desired background blur for portrait photography. Since you're looking to take photos of you friends, a 100mm telephoto lens probably won't work too great for you and the first two lenses you suggested are very similar to your 18-55mm.
The f/1.8 and f/1.4 don't have a substantial difference, the f/1.4 is more durable and can shoot in lower light conditions, but if you're just looking for a sharp lens and you're not going to be roughing around, go with the f/1.8 and spend the rest of your money on a good quality tripod.
In conclusion, the 50mm lens will definitely impress you, the images are very sharp and have a great quality and even shoot in low light!
Here is an example picture taken with a 50mm:
