Obligatory "what do you see be repaired most often" question.

Budget lenses, hands down. The plastic construction coupled with the cheap motors turning plastic gears to run the AF make for a bad day when someone forces something the wrong way. The Canon 50 1.4 is notorious for the warped cam barrel causing focus to jam. I see that often.
Even the more expensive Canon EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS is a frequent offender for sloppy zoom. Doing a zoom assembly job on one of those is no fun.
18-55's don't go out often in the rental business, but most of them are prone to stripped gears leaving chunks of plastic floating around inside.
