Not sure about fish eye lenses, but when I started off with my digital rebel xt, i had a 17-85 f4.0-5.6 IS and it did wonders. Might wanna check out the Tamron 28-75 as well, heard it does pretty well on rebels.

On a 1.6 body like the Rebel, Canon's 15mm fisheye isn't going to have much of a fisheye effect at all. You have to have a full frame camera to get the true fisheye effect.

If you want a fisheye get the Nikon 10.5mm It works as a fisheye even on a crop body like the D50. Cheaper to buy the Nikon Body + lens than a digital Canon fisheye setup as you'd need a Canon full frame body and a not-cheap canon lens.
Other options: (1) Buy a manual focus film body and a manual fisheye lens. There is no need for AF with a fisheye as the DOF is from like 2 inches to infinity. If you are buying used film SLRs and want a fisheye, look at Nikon. They made a lot of fisheyes. Nikon invented the fisheye lens for 35mm cameras (2) Use Photoshop. Take a panoramma, say a 3x3 matrix stitch then together and then apply a strong flens distortion filter.
...and of course, option three is to get the Nikkor 10.5mm, as ChrisA said, and then get an EF to F adaptor

Both of which are extreme wide angle, but not fisheyes. They are fine lenses if you want an extreme wide angle view, but if you want a fisheye, they are not the lens to get.
Sigma makes an 8mm fisheye which may be a useful option. I don't know, having not looked at this in detail.
No, but I had the 10-22, and it was a spectacular lens for a 1.6 crop body. Had to sell it for a FF equivalent, though, for my Elan.
Got the 17-40 f4L, though!
