Default Canon lenses vs Sigma lenses

Hi guys !
I hope this topic has not been raised before.
I am considering buying new lenses. Money is important but I also don’t want to be disappointed with my equipment. Can you help me to make up my mind?

Canon 24-70 mm f 2,8 L USM* *vs* *Sigma 24-70 mm f 2.8 EX DG macro
Canon 70-200 2,8 L IS USM* *vs* *Sigma APO 70-200 mm f 2.8 EX IF HSM macro

I know already about the canon lenses but I don’t know anything (I mean really nothing) about Sigma product. Is it good stuff?
When it comes to the 70-200mm the Sigma does not have the image stabilization. Is it a big handicap?

Please tell me honestly what you think about theses lenses. What would be your choice?

What does EX, DG, IF and HSM stand for?
