Canon, Tamron, Sigma...in that order. They are actually very close...but the Canon is worth every penny.

I want to point out that if you're a portrait photography none of these zoom lenses would be on my list.

What about those lenses makes you think you cannot obtain an excellent quality portrait?  And if you comment on shallow DOF, you can indeed obtain a fairly shallow DOF at f2.8 at 50mm.  That said, portrait doesn't equal shallow DOF.
