DSLR kits/bundles vs buying separably?

So i finally have my list of camera/lenses and accessories i just need to buy them. But when i started peaking around it appears most find the kit lenses to be fairly crap compared to others on the market (18-55 mm lenses).My question is when i start buying in the next few months is it better to grab a bundle/kit or just buy the body and lenses separately do you lose anything by buying separately(cables, software, ect? Also what would be cheapest method since budget is to a degree a concern for me? have a budget somewhere around 800$ and plan on buying the nikon d5100. Bundles/kits all seem to come with the 18-55 When it seems id prefer the 18-135 unless you save money by buying the bundle/kit. (Links are fine but keep in mind i need a US version and sales wont do good if i end up having to wait a few months).- Thanks in advance, Jack.
Added (1). Also looking at the 55-200mm lenses but keep in mind ive heard other companies can make better lenses (?). Mostly i just want the cheaper method without sacrificing the quality of coarse.(If thats the bundle/kits then just give me the word.
