I don't know what your budget is, but I think you will be happier with a used 70-200/2.8 VR II than any of the third party options. They are easy to find in good condition for $1200-$1300 and lots of people are selling them now that the 70-200FL is out. Since you are full frame, I would definitely not get the earlier VR I version as the corners are really weak, it has first generation VR, and that lens is now 15 years old.
Personally I am not a fan of the third party 70-200's, build quality, focus speed, and stabilization are all superior on the Nikon versions. Some of the third party versions some pretty close to the image quality of the older Nikon 70-200 VR II though if you get a good copy.
Edit: Just saw your reply with a budget of $1200, a gently used Nikon 70-200/2.8 VR II is a no-brainer in that case.
