Canon EF-S Lenses Worth the Money
Canon released 24 EF-S lenses that can be used on 35 EF-S cameras. 3 are primes and 21 are zoom lenses.
12 of them are different versions of the same kit zoom lenses. As a result, it's really easy to find a deal on a used kit lens.
The EF-S lens mount is discontinued, replaced by the RF-S mount for newer Canon mirrorless cameras. EF-S lenses can be used with an adapter. There is no way to use EF-M lenses on cameras with an EF-S lens mount.
EF-S lenses can not be used on full frame Canon EF mount digital cameras. An EF-S lens will not be able to be mounted to the camera.
Canon EF mount lenses can be used on EF-S cameras. There will be a 1.6x crop factor that isn't great for a wide angle zoom lens. It can be a helpful for telephoto lenses where the improved optical performance can be taken advantage of.
My most important piece of advice is to buy a lens with image stabilization (IS). It'll help improve image sharpness with telephoto lenses.
Lenses with STM motors will be better the USM motors for recording video. They are quieter.

Canon EF-S 70-300mm - I think this is a better value than the 55-250mm. It's an EF lens, so it can be used on full frame DSLRs.

Tamron 60mm f/2.0 SP DI II LD IF - This is the macro lens I would buy. Watch out as it was also sold for Nikon F and Sony E mounts.
