Choosing the right lens can be tricky but it is very important IMO. Especially, at an early stage, you must think in terms of your lens road map. What do you want to shoot? what will you need in the future?
On a very personal note, my first three lenses were (in that order) the DA18-250mm, Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 and FA31mm f1.8 Ltd. As you can see, the focal lengths overlap, ... but these lenses are all very different.
It makes a lot of sense to start with an all-round zoom lens: the DA18-135mm WR is a great choice; the older DA18-250mm is a viable alternative IMHO. Such a lens will serve you well and for a long time. (I still use my DA18-250mm a lot, although I have also the DA18-135mm now.)
Since you have already the DA35mm, I would suggest to invest next in an all-around zoom, and later in a fast fifty (DA50mm f1.8, or FA50mm f1.4).
Hope that the comment may help.
