With most landscape shots, wide is good!
I have the 20D and use the Tokina 12-24mm lens with it. The 20D's reduced sensor size gives a 1.6 multiplier so the Tokina lens actually delivers (in 35mm terms) 19-38mm!
If you really want wide you have to move up to the "1" series Canon cameras or the new 5D. These are the only ones that have full size sensors and therefore no multiplier.
Another way of getting wide - really wide - is by stitching photos together (panoramas). It is really interesting when you find an appropriate subject. Current programs make it easy to do. Using a simple 50mm (or longer) lens along with a tripod with a good head you can get some great photos!
