For price and image quality there is no question that the Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6 is the lens for you.
Have a look at the new Nikon magazine,the N-Photo mag. The third edition does a ultra wide lens test. The above lens is the only one to come out with five stars for image quality other than the Nikon 12-24 at over £200 more.

I'm in the Canon bandwagon here and have been researching the same type of Lens and everything points to the Sigma Canon or Nikon. Should hopefully be making a purchase soon.
Go for it!

Tokina 12-24mm f/4 or 11-16mm f2.8 every day over the sigma. Better build and IQ.

Would have to agree with this. I'd also put the 11-16 in particular ahead of any of Nikon's own DX UWA options. There is a new version with built in AF motor (so will work on D5100) but in all honesty, manual focussing should be considered anyway since, at F5.6 (the 11-16 sweet spot) you can focus at 4 foot, everything from 2 foot to infinity will be in focus. When I had mine I barely moved the focus ring. IQ is excellent and it's built like a tank.

Cant comment on the Tokina 11-16 but can say that the Tokina 12-24 f4 was better than the Sigma - yes have owned both the Sigma & Tokina.... If I was to buy again then it would be the Tokina 12-24 f4 pro
As a long time user of the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, and a lot of testing other lenses, I can wholeheartedly throw myself behind that lens.
Though it will be more expensive than a Sigma 10-20mm due to the quality of glass and that ol' f2.8 aperture. What's your budget?
