My vote is that it's a bad idea to drop $15,000 based on an internet poll.
The single biggest factor here is how comfortable YOU are with the way each brand works. And that's not something that we'll be able to answer.
But since you're already soliciting random internet advice, I'll give you mine.
Having shot all three brands for a long time, the Nikon/Sony combo doesn't make any sense to me. I would take Nikon over Canon for stills any day, but of course, that's mostly personal preference. Nikon and Sony are extremely incompatible (relative to a Canon/Sony combo), and it seems like you doubling up on things for not as much gain. Sony is the undisputed king of video right now, so I think it makes a lot of sense to use them for your video needs - especially when taking value into consideration.
Canon is a bit weaker in the video department, but their lenses adapt so well to the Sony gear, that it makes an awful lot of sense to go with that combo. That's what most of the higher-end videographers in my area are doing.
The final option would be to go all Sony (I currently am). That's the cleanest and arguably best-quality way of going about all of it. But there are still some compromises on the stills side that you'll need to work around.
