MC for the Sigma means "multicoated". RMC on the Tokina is a model
designation given to a certain quality class of Tokina lenses. Not bad
but but I dont think they're as good as their AT-X class lenses. The
Tokina may be multicoated as well even though it doesn't say it.
There isn't enough information here to choose one over the other.
Sigma, in particular, makes a plethora of lenses of different quality
levels and prices. For any given focal length range you might easily
find a Sigma lens that sells brand new for under $100, another at $500
and yet another at over $1000.
Sounds to me like you're still shooting in the dark going for the first
lens of a type that comes along. Pick a mount first and then read
reviews and find the lens.
