I'd be tempted to suggest the 50 1.8 - It is a relatively cheap way to prove
that the lens is the source of your problems and also a useful lens to have
available.
The more correct answer is probably to say it depends on your shooting style
and requirements. For children you are probably working fast and don't have
time to use a tripod so a fast lens is handy (it is also good for getting some
background in flash pictures). I got the 28-135 in preference to the 28-105
because when you can't use a tripod it can mean the difference between getting
the shot and getting a useless blur but it isn't as useful in action
situations.
