You mentioned that your main subjects are landscape and architecture, for these 2 you will mostly need the wide lens, specially for architecture, and the Tokina 11-16mm will be great for that use.
The lenses you listed are all super zoom lenses and I don't think you'll ever have to use 100mm or more in landscape and architecture photography. The super zoom ...

Fixed aperture is a very good feature that only one of those has. It just makes it easier to meter, control dof, and use fill flash. So go for the tamron. It is even pretty sharp. and super zooms are never a good idea, as they really make you feel disappointed at your DSLR.

It's not a guarantee, but a general rule of thumb is that the longer the range of focal lengths, the lower quality the lens. The majority of those lenses have extreme focal ranges. Beyond that, shopping questions are generally considered off topic and this is very much a shopping question.

I recently purchased a T4i and looked very closely at the T5i next to it. As far as I could see the bodies were identical. So I don't know what this talk about a new finish is. The rotation mode dial was different in that it spun 360. It was also missing the 'night scene' mode and the 'hdr' mode. I guess I missed the addition of scene mode mentioned ...

It's looking like that the biggest difference is the updated 18-55 kit lens - from the early reviews and comments, it's a non-trivial upgrade over the older EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, in all of optical quality, usability with filters (due to the non-rotating front element) and the advantages the STM gives for video shooters. Given that a significant ...

The differences are so minor many review sites are basically copy/pasting their T4i reviews, replacing the pictures, and editing the differences if they're posting reviews of the T5i at all. The new STM kit lens is probably the most significant change, especially for those shooting video as well as stills.
From The-Digital-Picture:
Here is a list of ...

I don't have either, but this is pretty well covered by hands-on-previews like DPReview's. The differences are really minor and basically cosmetic.
Typically, Canon leaves older models on the market for a while to be a lower-level option, but in this case they are apparently replacing the T4i with the T5i and leaving the T3i.
Why make a new model? Eh; ...

Spend $100 on the 50mm F1.8. Take photos with it. Its a nice lens, very inexpensive. If you still think your photos are not sharp, you will know that its you, not the lens. If you like the new photos, then think about spending more on a better lens.
I replaced my kit lens with the EFS 17-55 F2.8 and love it. It changed everything about my photos. But its ...

When I bought my first Canon DSLR several years ago the kit EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II that came with my camera was horrible. The succeeding IS versions that replaced it were much better, but still leave a lot to be desired.
I had already bought an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens as well (very good value for the price in my opinion). Maybe I just got a bad ...
