For the price the 18-55mm lens is fantastic.
But, depends what you're shooting. If you are doing street photography and short to medium shots a prime lens might be a better option. A 50mm lens would run you about $120. It would be faster, gather more light, and be sharper as well.
But if you are buying a camera + lens package the 18-55mm is a fantastic lens. Personally I like the 55-200mm lens. It is overall a better lens than the 55-300mm. The 300 is a little softer on both ends. Get the VR version. Also remember that these are crop sensor cameras so the 200mm is "actually" getting you a 300mm view.
KenRockwell.com: Photography, Cameras and Taking Better Pictures has reviews on most lenses and he can be critical, and also very pro-to some lenses.
If you haven't bought anything at all yet I'd suggest getting a used or new D90 BODY and a 50mm or 18-55mm, and later the 55-200mm. Depends on your purposes as well.
Once you do weddings, macros and scenery you'll know what kind of lens you'd want to meet your needs. So the 18-55 ($160) or the 50mm ($120) could be a good start and then go from there.
Just my two cents. Hope it helped and didn't confuse you.
