I have no complaints about the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G on my D700 and D800. It is quite a decent performer. Acoording to Photozone.de the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 is a good performer with high sharpness in the centre of the image, but it really falls behind the Nikkor in sharpness on the borders and in the edges.
