Very different lenses and I've owned both. The 17-40 is a good all-around performer, but on a crop body the 17-55/2.8 IS is faster, sharper, has a broader zoom range and IS all for about $250 more. If looking for that range I'd much sooner recommend stretching to the 17-55.
The 10-22 is an entirely different type of lens, for big sweeping landscapes and extreme perspectives. I sold both my 17-40 and 17-55, but have kept my 10-22 for 4 years and well over 10K shots. I am getting ready to sell it now only because I've gone FF. I still think it's a must have on a crop body Canon.
