Is there a better set up for shooting interiors than the Canon 10-22 ?
Glad you're here. You'll find lots of help at UHH. You might try posting this question in the Main Photography forum, you're in the Introduce yourself section. You'll get plenty of answers from Canon folks there. I'm a Nikon guy and don't pretend to know the answer! Enjoy your time at the Hog.
Probably not, unless you were looking for the distortion that an 8 mm fisheye provides. Also, if you use the pop up strobe, consider a flash diffuser like Gary Fong's Puffer, or with an external strobe, his Lightsphere. Softens the light, diffuseness the flash throughout the image without any harshness.
Thanks! Is there a Nikon lens you like best for interiors?
It's a great lens, but won't work on a full frame camera.
I know, but is the quality of the 6d with the the 16-35 going to make a noticeable difference?

Using a tripod, taking a series of pictures at different angles, and stitching them together for a panoramic may be better, because there would be less distortion. With an ultra wide angle lens like the Canon 10-22mm, you want to be very careful to keep the lens horizontal, otherwise vertical lines will be tilted.

Are these going to be posted on the web (no difference), or printed for display (some difference)?
As you start getting larger prints, like 16x20" or 20x30", the full frame sensor starts to separate itself in terms of image quality. Also, if you need to push past ISO 800, the full frame sensor also does better. The other side is dollars and size/weight, obviously.
Thanks. most of the prints will be less than 8x10.

Then I think the APS-C camera with the 10-22mm lens will do very well.

Jim, welcome to the hog,
YES
Wide is not always the answer. Composition is the answer. You don't need to get everything in a room, to show off the room. You need to present the key elements of a room correctly to create the illusion of presentation.
Study the interior works of guys like Giddings and Shulman, they rarely go wall to wall.
Anyway Jim, though expensive, you might also look at a TS-E 17. Going much wider and you'll get excessive barrel.
Though you asked about lenses, at least three RT speed-lights could go a long ways as well.
Again, welcome and good luck. ;-)
