I firmly believe that the OP specifically mentioned 3 lenses as they are in the similar in the price range.
I think he/she clearly knows GM/sigma would be a far better option but the price point is not even close.
35 1.4 GM is currently listed for $1599
35 1.4 sigma is currently listed for $989
the lenses the OP is asking are all below $600.
Not everyone has the same money and the need..

Yeah, I think nowadays you can get away without paying the premium and still get a great lens, if you don't require some specific features (e.g. almost perfect sharpness across the frame wide open) at least.
I think I'd go with the Aurora of the listed options, though I don't recall how well its AF keeps up...

Faced with all of these options I know what I'd do if forced to make a choice on a budget:
Wait for a used 35GM here on B&S to pop up.
