Lens which one to buy? Sharper lens or OIS lens?

I am looking to buy better lenses for my Sony A7c. I am confused between

Sony FE 70–200 mm F4 G OSS (SEL70200G) E-Mount Full-Frame, Telephoto Zoom G Lens & Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E-Mount

and

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E & Sony Vario-Tessar® T* FE 24-70 mm F4 ZA OSS (SEL16F28) E-Mount Full-Frame, Standard Zoom Lens

The main difference in both options is that Sigma & Tamron do not offer OIS whereas Sony's lens does, but Sigma & Tamron are the sharper lenses. The difference between the cost in each case is about 150 USD.

I do not intend to do many videos, my primary focus is still photography. Since A7C has IBIS, should I give preference to a sharper lens?

Thanks!
