That's a really good question. What are you shooting with? What types of photos are you taking? These are important considerations.
I have both lenses. IS is helpful on the 24-105, but the f4 is a slight limitation. From the 5D2 or 7D to later models, the ISO can be adjusted to compensate.
Even so, the 24-70 f2.8 has a wider range of events for me. Shooting events or landscapes, the 24-70 has a nicer color and better bokeh. It's more able to get the "dreamy" picture. I have shot conferences and events with the 24-70 (until recently it was my "go-to" lens for everything) and the only problem I have had is blurry shots because of movement. IS does count for something. I have owned my 24-70 for over 7 years, and it has made 4 cameras shine.
If you want image quality, it's the 70. If you are shooting conferences or events and want a slightly higher percentage of keepers, it's likely gonna be the 105. As noted, the 105 is an "L" lens, and offers high quality imaging. If you are shooting sports at night, well... you're probably going to want a 2.8L, but in a 70-200. IS will help with photographer motion, but will not freeze athletes' motion.
There is likely going to be a considerable difference in price, for a reason. A sharp 70 makes great images, beautiful depth of color, incredible sharpness.
