Primes vs Zoom lenses

In the last weeks, I was debating over different possibilities regarding my next lenses buying options. I had several criterias in doing so.

First I didn't want to buy EF-S lenses anymore (those lenses are for what we call "crop bodies" only.) because eventually I will want to switch to full frame digital cameras.

Second, I was in a big dilemma on whether I should buy one very good zoom or two very good primes. Zooms are more practical in any situation, but I didn't like the fact that the EF 24-70 was 2.8 only. Plus, for less than it's price, I could have the EF 50mm f/1.4 and the highly regarded 85mm f/1.8.

So I went for the second option.
What do you think?
