Go with the Canon (NOT SIGMA) 24-70 2.8. Sigma makes some serious garbage. Clunky motors, mechanisms that are flawed, etc. Sigma is like the lens equivalent of a Yugo.
Maybe go with Sigma if you like their trademark "SCREEEEEEETCH, SCREEEEEEEEETCH" when you focus.

You glue sniffing mother fucker.
Sigma is a GREAT choice for this guy based on his needs.
I'll also add that I've worked camera retail and have had training by Canon, Nikon, Sigma, etc....I've sold a SHITLOAD of each and recommended Sigma lenses to friends and family for YEARS without issue. If you are not going to spend the money for Canon then buy Sigma.
This bullshit you say about Sigma...Well, it's just that...Bullshit.
