Trinity,
From what you have said, it appears that you don't want the extra reach of the 300mm lens. In reality, a 200mm lens on a dSLR with a 1.5x crop factor is usually enough for most people. If you aren't doing huge prints, then the need for a super-sharp lens goes away.
Given the broad range of subjects to intend to take pictures of, and the fact you view on screen rather than printing, I'd say you should be fine with the 18-200. If you need more reach later, then there's plenty of longer lenses out there to chose from.
Regards,
Duncan
