3rd party or otherwise.

Future purchases will be.

Telephoto preferably to 300mm
Prime with wide aperture for low light situations.
Macro (F1.4 Sigma?)
Possible replacement for Japanese made Kit 18-55mm EF-S IS?

Searching is giving me a headache.

You didn't mention what your budget is so it's hard to give suggestions, but the canon 50mm 1.8 is a steal at under $100. Build quality feels like a toy but it puts out some really sharp images. F/1.8 is nice and wide for low light shots as well.
