Because I shoot events a lot, the 24-70 and 70-200 zoomie's are the lenses of choice for me. Always shooting in a crowded room severely limits the vantage points I can shoot from. I need the versatility that zooms provide to get the shots the client asks for. The only other lens I bring to indoor events is the 16-35 for large posed group shots. Can't say that I'd buy the soon-to-be-released IS version of the 24-70 though. Doesn't seem necessary for a short lens like that.
Seeing as if I do a lot of editing on most of the pic's I take anyway (mostly to make them look more distinctive from pic's taken with high end P&S's) it's not a problem to bring out "prime-looking" features in posed group shots taken with zoom lenses.
