I second this. I have the Nikon 10-24 for my D7100. Great lens with typical brilliant Nikon optics.

My 10-20 works on my D7100. Which Sigma do you have?

Are you sure?
The older Sigma 10-20mm was an F4-5.6 maximum aperture.
The current model Sigma 10-20mm is a fixed F3.5 maximum aperture.

The OP asked:
"Any thoughts on which way to go by those that have used "these lenses??" (Tokina and Sigma)
And this is your answer !?

Re: wide angle...I see that 10-20's are being recommended. In my use, I've used the 24mm part of my 10-24mm quite a bit in shooting landscape like Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. Those extra mm may come in handy.

The 10mm (15mm equivalent angle of view) came in handy for interiors of cathedrals in Europe.
FWIW: My Sigma is the f/4-5.6 10-20mm. I don't recall when I purchased it.

I agree with imagemeister. I am a holiday shooter.
I have the Tokina 12-28 F/4 and use it with a D7100 and it is a great lens. I find the longer reach of the lens very useful as compared to a 10-20 or 11-16 and the f/4 works well with a bump in the ISO if you need it. I like it so well that even though I now have a D750 as well as the D7100 I'm staying with that combo rather than purchase an FX lens. It simply works that well. You may have other needs. Good luck.

I suggested the Tamron 10-24, but have to admit the Tokina 12-28 f/4 sounds interesting, if its sharp.

Yes, the 12-28 covers full frame from 18mm - see Rockwell's review !

Thank you everyone for your input. Between all of these comments and all I read on the internet I was more confused then ever!! I think it is pretty obvious all of the ultra-wides are pretty good. If I was a real-estate photographer I think I would have splurged for the Nikon lens but I ended up getting the Sigma 10-20 3.5 lens. I ran across some reviews on the internet where getting a grey market lens on Amazon did not turn out well so I passed on the Tokina's (I had my finger on the one step purchase button for the 11-20!!! I was so close!!!). Thanks again for the always valuable Hog input!!!

I had the Tokina 11-16mm on my D7100, and it was fine. It was the U. S. version, and I paid $690 for it. When I sold the D7100, I sold the lens for $502. For the current Amazon price, I wouldn't be concerned about the warranty. I've been shooting since the 1970's, and I've never had a camera or lens serviced, except for the D600 sensor spot recall.
I have the Tokina 11-16 on my D7100 as well and love it. I got slightly used from eBay for $337. GREAT deal. I've seen others go for more. I wouldn't be concerned about warranty for lenses as long as you can return them initially if they don't work. If they work at first it's highly unlikely they'd fail later unless you abuse or drop them. And then the warranty wouldn't cover anyway.
