Hi Rick,
The big question here is money. Amazon are selling the 55-200mm VR for GBP134 and the 18-200mm VR-II for GBP745. Now that's a big price difference and one you should perhaps be considering.
I use the 18-200mm as a 'Walk-About' lens and it is a very good lens as long as you can live with the zoom-creep. I have a pretty large collection of glass, zooms and primes, but I would think that the 18-200mm is probably on my camera more than any other lens. I would recommend it, but it is very expensive.
