Both of these have good reviews.

If I a unable to get the Nikkor lens would it be better to go with a Tamron or Sigma Lens?
Even if you ARE able to get the Nikkor, either of the above Sigma/Tamron products will be worth considering.

Don't get hung up over the badge. Writing any particular text on the packaging does not confer magical properties on the contents. Which one is best is YOUR choice. You may like or dislike the handling/controls/balance of any one of the lenses under discussion. Others may like the one you don't get on with and vice versa.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the items you are considering, they are all very good. The final choice is down to YOU.
