Seems like the Sigma lens produces better quality compared to the L-Series Canon lenses.

I could see using a 35 and a 50 for different situations and different looks. The 35 is going to distort a bit when you get in close....which could be attractive in some situations. In really small confined spaces, the 35 may be your only choice though. The 50 will give you less distortion and softer backgrounds...if you like that look. I would suggest buying them both and testing them to see which one gives you what you want. You may find that both of them could be valuable in different scenarios.
