From my personal experience with the 15-85 on a 7D: Resolution is very good across the range, even wide open.
Distortion and vignetting are not that great at the wide end.
Build quality is decent but not L-like. Also, it does have zoom creep (develops over time).
The 24-105 is a very fine lens (I'd definitely get one if I had a FF camera), but having a standard zoom that starts at 15mm (24mm equiv.) on an APS-C camera outweights the benefits of the 24-105 for me.
