The Tamron 90mm is very highly thought of with one at least one well known pro describing it as one of the all time great macro lenses. The Tamron 180, Sigma 180 and Canon 180 macros were tested by AP magazine, and the results were akin to those in the link above.
Yes, I am surprised by these results as they disagree with every other review I've seen over the years which put the Canon first followed by Tamron and Sigma sometimes one, sometimes the other second. Ah well, that's reviews and possible variations in individual lenses for you! The bottom line is they are all good so it comes down to price and what feels right in the hand to the buyer.
