Try a couple of different focal lengths.
Everyone is different in what they like to shoot.
What matters is you liking what you get.
Find out what you like to shoot.

Or, you can just pick a photographer you like and copy them.
You took the words right out of my mouth.... It all boils down to what YOU are interested in IMHO. Take for example an historic cobblestone street on a somewhat rainy day; one person might be interested in the overall scene capturing everything while another might like to accentuate the wet texture of the cobblestones close up. Take your cheap and light 12-100 F 1.0 and you will be just fine.
