Not happy with 50mm on cropped sensor - alternatives?

I have a Canon 550D and one of my lenses is a 50mm 1.4.

I absolutely adore this lens except for one thing: it's very tight on a cropped sensor. (I wish sites talking about the 'nifty fifty' would not just assume everyone has a full frame!)

What's a good alternative prime in a similar price range?

Any opinions on:

- Canon 35mm f2

- Canon EF 28mm f/1.8

- Sigma 30mm f1.4

The last one seems ideal but I heard image quality leaves to be wanted. Is this true?

My main lens is a 15-85mm. I mainly do travel photography.

Canon EOS 550D (EOS Rebel T2i / EOS Kiss X4)
