The 35L has better corner performance than the Sigma, so if that's
a big issue in your shooting style, I can see why, even on a crop body,
the 35L would be preferred.
The 35L also has less barrel distortion, but often this is not an issue
in real life shooting.
So, a great copy of the 35L should be all around better than a great
copy of the Sigma for many shooters. It's just that you pay a big
premium for the Canon, so for many of us the Sigma does just fine.
In looking at the Lightrules tests in the link provided on the 1st page of this thread that is not what his testing showed. I actually sold my 35L before I got the Sigma 30 1.4, so I have no test data to compare.
Don't undersell the Sigma because it is 1/3 less in cost. If you get a good copy, and admittedly QC is an issue, I think you will see the same kind of IQ as noted in the Lightrules testing. That was my experience.
Yeah, I actually have the Sigma and I'm quite happy with it.
Still, I wish the corner performance were better wide open.
I'm not willing to pay 3x to get that.

Tim
