Personally I've never been a fan of the 'one lens fits all' solution, and believe that lenses that cover such a wide zoom range are a jack-of-all-trades with too many compromises to work really well anywhere in the range they cover.
Having said all that, I have no first hand experience of any of the lenses you mention, so can't make an informed decision as to the comparative qualities to help you in your choice.

Never been a fan of an "all in one lens", feel there is to much of a compromise, although I can see the benefit to one in certain areas.
Personally I wouldn't swap my lenses for one. I'd see what focal length you generally use and then save up to buy a good quality lens covering that range.

These hyperzooms are aimed at the happy snappy brigade. They all mouth and no substance. Its for the P&S people who progressed to a DSLR but like the fact that their P&S had a all in one zoom.
A DSLR is a interchangeable lens system, is designed for changing lenses. The best zoom lenses have a ratio of 1:4 like the 70-200mm. When the ratio gets bigger 18-250mm 1:14 the image quality drops off unless you pay a fortune for the lens, but as 99% of these hyperzooms are at budget prices you get average results.
