I'm a fan of Sigma.
Though if you want a killer lens, you can't get any better than a Canon L lens.
Nikon has some good lenses too.I'm just a Canon fan....and the lens you need depends on what you want to do.
You can't get just one lens to cover everything. You lose quality somewhere in the spectrum.
If you can, and you should be able to - walk into B&H, with your camera, go try a lens you researched and take some shots. See how it works. They are very friendly and let you do this there.
A good test. Focus on something zoomed in. (manually) - pull the lens back out - if your object stayed in focus then the glass is good. If it got blurry it's a bad lens.
A good lens will remain focused on what you focused no matter what mm you're at provided you don't move.
Just research and figure out if you want a wide angle, telephoto, macro, etc.
