So basically what the title says?

Tony Northrup loooooves the Sigma...even though he has never accepted any money from any camera or gear maker.
But seriously, the Sigma is for APS-C Canon cameras, and is a 28.8mm to 56mm FF equivalent angle of view lens, with a fairly narrow 2:1 ratio zoom, with a VERY fast f/1.8 maximum aperture setting.
The 24-70 Canon on an APS-C camera is 38.4mm to 112mm zoom range, or an approximately 2.91:1 ratio zoom. It is also an f/2.8 maximum aperture lens.
These are two VERY different types of lenses, and the Sigma locks you in to using ONLY Canon 1.6x crop-sensor bodies, while the Canon 24-70 allows use on both APS-C and Full-Frame Canon bodies.
I'd look at a sigma 17-50f2.8 OS over either ones you mentioned
Well if you can't see a difference it doesn't matter which one ya get
The sigma 18-35 is not weather sealed
it sounds like you've already decided.
just go get the 18-35 so you can start shooting with it.
FYI, I have the 17-50 f2.8 and it is a very good lens. Not quite 'L' glass but you'd be hard pressed to see a difference. It's a little more versatile than the 18 x 35, but not the super shallow DOF.I'd look at a sigma 17-50f2.8 OS over either ones you mentioned
I've looked at some photo comparisons, but can't decide on which is sharper
