Wim, you are totally forgetting the Sigma 8-16mm. That is king of the hill.
The Canon 10-22mm is a good UWA too.
I am seriously not impressed with the actual build quality of my Tokina 12-24mm... and most probably will not burn my fingers on the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. Also, considering it has that CA again.
So for me, it would be a choice between Canon 10-22mm USM and Sigma 8-16mm, a choice between lens with filter thread and protected by hood front element, and lens with more width, sharpness and exposed front element.
Further I would like to point out to old wolf that you had a problem with the viewfinder of the 7D because you are a glasses wearer and that is very personal in your case, and I would like to ask you, Win, if that is the same with the D300? To old wolf, you have to try view finders out yourself.
