The XS (aka 1000D) comes with the previous generation kit lens, that has no IS, and is optically not so good. But even good kit lenses such as the 18-55 IS are kit lenses, and I've added some decent lenses to my XSi (including the Canon 100mm macro) that clearly improved the results. -- Bertrand

Should be cheap and better. Though a fixed focal length lens is often better and cheaper than the zoom. > Problem is, > what is the better option?

You can use all EF and EF-S lenses, no limitations apply, same as any other crop sensor camera since the 20D. If you plan to go full format one day, you probably want EF and not EF-S. -Wolfgang
