Why to you say that APS-C cameras have a lack of a wider option for lenses? APS-C cameras from Canon can use the full range to interchangeable EOS lenses, both EF and EFs lenses. If anything it is Full Frame Canon camers that are limited, they cannot use EFs lenses. Although if you are choosing a full frame camera, limiting yourself to EF lenses is not much of a problem.

Best value will probably be the 2 lens kit. Costco, B&H, Cameta Camera are good starting places. I think for starting out in the digital world, and considering the price, you can do a lot worse.
The down-side to APS-C cameras (in my opinion) is lack of a wider option for lenses, but not necessarily a deal-breaker for starting out. Canons line of lenses is extraordinary and choices for the future are many.
