I have combed the internet about these wide angle zoom lenses and am more confused than ever. I am looking at 10 to 24 mm in all of them for landscape and home interior pictures, I brought the subject up before about the Tamron and UHH people had it were very pleased with it but the web and youtube have different opinions which most favor the Sigma and very good marks on the Tokina. Trying to get a better view point from fellow pro's or better than me amature photogrphers please help.

Stop being so picky. Any lens you buy will be outdated at some point. Buy one that's affordable and USE it. Make your own judgement. All these lenses are good.

I know I am being picky but only want to buy something that is worth the cost and only want to spend the money one time, I have the Tamron 150 600 and love it but not sure of the wide angle lens just trying to get other more valuable opinions.

Perhaps you should rent one first, see if it fits your needs.

Assuming you do have a crop frame camera, I recommend the Tokina 12-28mm f4 - this is their latest - a good review -

All lens manufacturers have a few good quality lenses in their stable. But understanding what type of photography are going to be doing is important. If landscapes are you were main focus, you have a little more flexibility. However if you're going to be taking pictures of buildings you might be most interested in low distortion...

I would recommend you focus on low distortion for your interior photos. A lens with low distortion will help your interior pictures, and won't hurt your landscape photos. This means you're going to look for a lens review site that is more scientific/technical in their review (Not KR).

best way to get best results is to rent all three lenses, set them up on a tripod and shoot some photos, then, if you tend to hand hold your camera while taking photos, repeat the process hand held. compare the results them buy the lens you prefer.

I have some friends that do Nikon and use 11-16 Tokina. I have the Tokina 16-28 for my Canon FF.

There are lots of UWA used glass available at budget price.

If you ask UHH you will get biased responses. My suggestion is to go to B&H Photo site. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ Then type in their search box the lens you are interested in. Look for the feedback. After reviewing each pro and con info, you should beable to make a clear decision.
