I had a Canon EF-S 10-22 which i thought was going to be badass to have but ended up being nearly useless. Like the other Anon said its tough to compose a decent image because its so wide that everything is in frame.
I guess it depends what youre shooting but i didnt like it for landscape like i thought i would

Idk if 16mm counts as "ultra" wide but I love my EF 16-35 F4L. It doesn't distort the image like fish eye lenses, and in general is very pleasing for just about anythhing: pics of groups in small places, architecture, vlog style filming etc. You can pick one up for under 400
Fish eye lenses are another story altogether, the only thing they look good on conaistently that I've seen is those stadium panoramas

UWA is absolutely okay for landscape but shouldn't really be the default choice. However, the 10-22mm range includes the 24-35mm section which is normally the ideal spot for landscapes AND UWA lenses tend to have less distortion than GP zooms in that range.
You can also go for a prime which is often better but also good luck getting the framing right.

Literally my favorite lens now and most used. I personally think anything 20mm and wider counts as UWA but technically <24mm is.

I bought that lens for when I got my 40D and now it's on my 7 d. It looks okay Ash outside. I think the ones that I tried to do is showing the nice Vistas when I was out hiking up in Squamish. Too much to take in. My 21 mm on my 6D Mark 2 I love.

There are no hard and fast rules with that. I've taken great interior shots with just a 35 and my 45. It all depends on the subject and the framing

With UWA you have to be at the spot and everything should look kino, you can't just select something and compose for it because as was said everything is in the shot. I found that UWA makes things look tiny especially big mountains so it was much better for foreground objects composed with whatever is in the background. it makes the scene look meh, even spectacular ones so you better select a flower or a rock or bench, something to put in front of the scenery.
