Bang for buck, I chose Sigma, twice. I have the 24 Art and the 35 Art. However, if you don't need f1.4, the Nikon 1.8 G versions are quite well respected, even though I have never tried those.
Some say the Sigmas appear too clinical, and that's honestly a matter of taste. Yes, they are clinical but how clinical is too clinical is a question you'll have to answer for yourself. But I will say, if you're a fan of the Nikon 58/1.4, you probably won't like the Art lenses that much.
For group shots where you want to have lots of little faces packed across the frame, you might appreciate the extraordinarily well-corrected qualities of the Sigma Art. My copy of the 24 is sharpest f2.8-f5 on a D700.
