The Nikon has good optics. The Sigma is also good, maybe a tad less in certain areas, but it offers image stabilization, a big plus. And silent and fast AF (the Nikon uses the in body AF motor).
The Tamron has very good optics, but slow and noisy AF, and no IS. And its build quality lags a bit.
The Sigma has big focus breathing (like the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR II), making it not even near 200mm at close focus ranges.
I would rate them as follows:
Image quality (optics):
All are good, though, it is closer than you might think.
Features:
** by far the best, with its HSM and OS
Close up photography:
** by quite some margin the worst
Build quality:
Try to determine which of these criteria are the most important to you.
For me, close focussing ability is very important, so the Sigma would not be my choice.
If I already had a 200mm lens that allows closer by focussing, I would pick the Sigma because of its OS and HSM.
But for me, in this group of 3, I would then have to pick the Tamron.

fist of all, thank you very much. but i still a qustion as below,
for you point of view:
---------------------------------------
Image quality (optics):
* Tamron
* Nikon
* Sigma
All are good, though, it is closer than you might think.
===================>>>>>the optics photozone.de had evaluating the nikon and sigma lens. Nikon and Sigma analysis result of quality optics the same are 3.5-Star. and i had hear of Tamron photo coloring yellowish, sure?
Close up photography:
* Tamron ==>>photo coloring yellowish???
* Nikon
* Sigma**
Build quality: ====> photozone.de analysis result is nikon 4-star and sigma 4.5-star. so which is clearly.
