According to the above website, they are very close in Users' rating.  If you are looking for a walk-around lens for a cropped body (40D), you will need to have a wider lens.  28 on the short side may not cut it.  I used the Tamron 28-75.  Super sharp but not wide enough.  The Tamron 17-50 is known to be super sharp too.  If you are looking for IS than Canon is your only choice.  But if you want IQ, some 3rd party lenses are pretty good.  If you can affort it, the EF-S 17-55 /2.8 I.S. will be even better IMHO.  Anything over f/4 will have very limited usage indoor at night.
