IMHO if going FF the difference between a 24-70 and a 28-75 is a big one. I find I really miss 24mm when I only have a lens that goes to 28mm at the wide end, while I've never really missed the difference between 70 & 75 at the long end. Less of an issue on APS-C of course but worth thinking about if FF is of interest.

I used to have one of the Tokina ATX-Pro 28-70 F2.6-2.8's in my film days but found I missed 24mm a lot. With FF I'm using a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 and find that's great as a general purpose lens (plus it's also a lot lighter than the Tokina was!).

The 24-70 would be a very good option if you're going FF soon - but personally it's not something I find all that useful on APS-C. It's also worth considering some of the other F2.8 zooms in that focal length as well - I have the Sigma and it's very good and can be had a lot cheaper.

Personally if I was going to add a lens to your kit it'd be one of the 10-20mm Sigmas, as that was one of my most used lenses in APS-C. A macro lens would also be nice though and there are lots of options available.
