The Rebel uses ETTL not ETTLII so the 580EX is overkill. I think it comes down to a 420EX or 550EX. If you'll never use the flash in Manual Mode or wirelessly, buy the 420EX. If you think you'll want to get more creative go the way of the 550EX. The Sigma 500DG Super has the features of the 550EX but just not built as well.
