Nanco, your other questions lead me to believe that you're setting up a studio. If so, do you really need a tele lens, never mind a 300mm lens... with the 1.6 crop factor, that's effectively 480mm!
For studio work, and with a budget of around $400, your best bet would be a quality normal zoom. (I looked up the four lenses you mentioned and none of them inspire confidence in the image quality.) If you're willing to put off the tele lens, here are some suggestions for a normal zoom:
Canon 24-85mm, f/3.5-4.5, $310
Sigma 24-70mm, f/2.8, $429 (from their pro 'EX' line)
Tamron 17-50mm, f/2.8, $450 (if you want to go wider).

I would take the canon over the sigma. Keep the Canon package together.
