I would get the tamron 17-50mm 2.8 over the 16-85mm 3.5-5.6 nikon. It's a better lens IMO (constant 2.8 aperture and very sharp). It's also around $200 cheaper.
I'd recommend the non-VC version, as VR/VC is pointless on a lower focal length lens and actually degrades image quality.
A used Tamron 17-50mm 1:2.8 AF is only around $325 in great condition. Buy used on ebay from someone that accepts returns.
