I'll buy a prime lens too.
But obviously I won't be using it 24.7 so which of the two above is the best walk around lens? Also optically better?

I'd go with the 18-105mm… Better yet would be a 28-200mm.

The 18-105 mm is a great lens but for 400.00, the build quality is not there. The 16-85 mm is a superior lens because of the metal mount and for being 2mm wider. If you have money to burn then pay the extra 250 for the the 16-85.
