Sigma cine zoom's

Why: Speed, size/weight, quality, brand recognition, people won't be suspicious if you show up with one as silly as it sounds. They have been available for while now and I have not heard any people have serious issues with them so they have been proven in that regard. They are also readily available from many rental houses now so if one of your lenses goes down you could easily rent a replacement in most markets. 

Why not: Breathing, the 50-100 especially. Mount is not user swappable.

I am agree with you that the ideal from the list is Sigma, besides that they are the sharpest ones as well, but the price is for me to high.

That's why i was thinking to purchase rehoused Sigma art zooms into cine by cinematics. 

 As you may know Sigma cine zooms and Sigma Art zooms have the same glass, that's why i can prefer rehoused version which will cost 2-3 times cheaper.

Here's the lenses which i am talking about:
