I have always had crop bodies and have been using my 17-55mm 2.8IS for a few years. But...I dropped the lens on my garage floor and need to send it in to Canon (won't AF). DC~

I love the 17-55...just foing to a FF it'll get wider, right? The equivalent lens on a full-frame camera would be the 24-70mm f/2.8. That would give you equivalent focal lengths and the same constant f/2.8 aperture, but you would not get IS with it. If you want a stabilized equivalent, your only option is the forthcoming Tamron lens, which is now available for pre-order Photography by Erin Babnik

EOS 5D Mark II at ISO 6400, 1/30 shutter speed. Handheld, avail. light.  EF 20mm f2.8 lens at f11, 72mm B+W Kaesemann C-Pol filter. EOS 5D Mark II at ISO 200, 1/60 shutter speed. Handheld, avail light. It's a fine lens on crop cameras, too... just not very wide. There are plenty of options, primes and zooms. Sigma 12-24 (the widest FF lens made, aside from a fisheye) EF 14/2.8 Rokinon/Bower 14/2.8 (manual focus & aperture) Zeiss 15mm (supposedly coming soon, manual focus) Tokina 16-24/2.8 EF 16-35/2.8 II EF 17/4 TS-E (tilt-shift, manual focus) EF 17-40/4 Zeiss 18/3.5 (manual focus) EF 20/2.8 Sigma 20/1.8 Zeiss 21/2.8 (manual focus) If you consider used and adapted vintage lenses, there are more. It's hard to call one or another "best".... Depends upon what's important to you. Prices range from a few hundred dollars to more than $2000. The wider the lens, the more distortion... usually. The closest to your 17-55/2.8 is the 16-35/2.8 II... in terms of focal length, max aperture. On your present crop cameras,few of these... not even your 17-55... are particularly wide... most are only moderately wide at best. Super or ultrawide on crop cameras starts around 15mm and shorter. There's even an 8-16mm now! Alan Myers

If not then the 17mm TS-e. Don't worry, I know you're made of money.
