I think the 24-90 will beat the pants off the others optically (in terms of distortion, sharpness, contrast, flare resistance etc). Of course the tokina has a much wider aperture and is built like a tank, but then again it is big and weighs as much as a tank. I don't think the tamron is in the same game.
