Depends what your girl will be shooting with it. It does make a major difference to have a telephoto lens, especially in the mountains for wildlife etc.
The 18-55 is a very versatile lens that will be good in many situations and I would say that that lens would be most used.
The XSI has video and more mp. It depends if she'd used more video than zoom, I suppose.
My bro just got an xsi as his first dslr, and the image quality is quite good.
I find the rebel bodies to be too small and light in my hands. But that's all personal preference, I suppose.
