The 35mm f2 will act like a 52mm or so on a digital. A 50mm (f 1.8) will crop the image to look like an 80 or so. Both are highly regarded Canon prime lenses, and not terribly expensive. Other readers here will advise you on zooms they like. Avoid the very cheapest zooms.
I think that either prime lens will give a sharper image than any zoom except for the ones that test out best.
