By (my) definition no prime is a "walk around" lens unless you are only looking for compositions that fit in its arbitary rectangle. Zooms are far more versatile for a wide variety of shots - if you are looking for them. So it's up to you to decide what method of shooting you want to do. If your subjects are stationary and approachable - statues, buildings, museum exhibits, etc, primes are nice. For fluid and moving subjects at random distances, a zoom may be handy.
Fast = weight, size and usually $$$. If you are a daylight shooter, a slower lens may be just the thing for you. And, you can manually focus an auto-focus lens, but not vice-versa.
This might be handy.
