Personally I'm not a fan of the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 even with its low price tag. It feels quite plastic, and softer than I like at f/2.8, thus negating its main selling point. (I used this on Sony in the past)
I do like the 24-105L. Very fast AF, and I like the quality through the whole zoom range. Built solidly too. Biggest drawback is the price... it is a more natural partner to full frame.
I currently do own the EF-S 15-85 as suggested by Brightcolours a lot. Less expensive than the 24-105 and to me still great quality throughout. If money was no object I'd get the 24-105L, but for a bit less or if you want the wide angle too, then the 15-85.
