It is not all about the lens.

I can tell you from personal experience that the images you would get from the 5D3/24-105 will be much better than the 7D/15-85.

I would say for me it is a better combination due mainly to the FF. 24-105 is better than it gets credit for here. BB has never liked that lens- of course that's his prerogative. Have had recent contact with several top pros here in LA, all use the 24-105 to good advantage.

Having said that I was always happy with the 15-85, until ISO800 anyway. But the main reason to go that route is to go small, and the 7D is already nearly the size of 5D, so what's the point?

FF all the way! Maybe go prime since you have them!
