I'd say the Tamron is a far better lens. Having f2.8 available across the zoom range is very important. That's 2 stops faster at 55mm. And the extra mm at the wide end isn't insignificant.
I do agree that the Tokina would be a better lens, but it wasn't in his price range. If he wants to bump up his budget I say go for it.
