That can be a sample variation thing, I know a number of people who actually like the 28-105mm quite a bit. Of course, not an L-lens.
I just now looked on fred miranda, and there too are a number of people who like it, and then there are some who do not. It gets a noticeably higher score than the 28-135 on fred miranda too.
Many conflicting opinions about these two lenses.

In any case - both have high distortions at 28mm. I wouldn't be on low field curvature either.
For the sake of completion you could add the 24-85mm USM. Strangely it has been discontinued but it's probably somewhat better than the other two IN THE OVERLAPPING RANGE.
