I used both before and I prefer the Tamron.

The Sigma obstructs my pop-up flash, and I find the Tamron a bit sharper and easier to handle on my 350D. I also find the push-pull clutch system for MF on the Sigma a bit bothersome after a while.

I used to have the Tm28-75 - very small, very sharp and light.

Clutch system for MF/AF - I almost never use the MF. Always on AF - so I tape up the AF ring to prevent it from moving.
