What lens are you upgrading from and what are you expecting a new lens to give you over and above what you already have?
"I'll be upgrading from the kit lens and not I'm not going to be at any side line. I meant if the mentioned lenses would be too slow for moving subjects, children, bikes, motorcycles, cars. Most of my pictures will be still pictures. Thanks for the response."
With regards to sports, what sports do you mean and will you be on the side line? I'm not convinced any of the lenses will get you close enough to the action, but that will depend on how much of the action you're trying to capture.
Depending on what you already have you may do better to stick with it until you know exactly what you want.

Exactly what do you find lacking in the kit lens? Insuffient range? Poor IQ? What do you photograph primarily? In order to answer your question(s), we need a better understanding of your needs.

I would like more range over the kit lens and something with superior picture quality and sharpness. I like the kit lens but Im a rookie with a SLR, I only had it for two weeks but I want to do a well done research before buying my next lens. Thanks for the response."
