Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD is the one to go for unless you want to cover a long range of focal lengths.

Whilst the 18-270 may seem appealing it has to cover a long zoom range and the image quality is not as good as the 70-300. I did own the 18-270 for a while but found it had very bad barrel distorion and suffered from chromatic abbertions.
