50-135mm all day long for the work you've mentioned, I own both and both are superb but I use the Tamron for sports due to its longer reach and better AF,
The 50-135mm is better optically not by a long way but it is sharper, but the AF drags its heels sometimes, but for weddings and portraits it's lovely.
What about the 55mm f1.4 this seems an almost perfect lens for your intended needs, I've never had one, but not many people speak badly about it?

If the Sigma 50-150 f2.8 in the classified ads here is still going, you could also consider that. Sharp and a compact lens with HSM (works well on my K5 and K3)
