i've got both the nikkor 18-55 and the nikkor 55-200 you are describing. i only got them yesterday so i don't have a lot of usage feedback but i can say that i appreciate the range the two lenses give me.
the one thing i wish the 55-200 had is macro (super duper close up) but i can make do w/o it (or use my film SLR for which i have a macro lens.)
the 55-200 would be good for things farther away from you or for action shots. probably not pro-action like a pro would take but your kids soccer game? absolutely. in fact that's what i use that range of lens for here, more than anything else.
if you get the 55-200 (or any lens in that range or longer) you may want to consider a tripod at some point bc the longer lenses are more sensitive to shake, making it more critical to hold the camera steady.
i can't rec any other lenses though, simply bc i've only had the camera for a day and a half myself. i'd suggest looking carefully at your usage style (the type of pics you generally take, most often) and find a lens that would tailor to that. any photo store worth it's cameras will have staff available to help you analyze what lens would be best for you and your needs.
