1. My most used: Tamron 28-75 Actually my most used lens PERIOD.
2. My sharpest: Tamron 28-75 but not the sharpest in the bag.
3. My most creative: Tamron 28-75, the close focusing distance allows me to use it for macro work (what little I do).

1) My most used non-Canon lens is my Sigma 50-500
2) My sharpest non-Canon is a Sigma 105 macro lens
3) Lenses are not creative; photographers are and if I had to look to a lens for fun I would be very concerned about my social life. (I guess if my social life was that bad I'd look for something with a push/pull zoom action.)

Can't really call them "third party lenses" per se, but I used a couple of Leicas on my 20D.

2. My sharpest: Tamron 28-75
3. My most creative: Tamron 28-75

Actually, I only own two 3rd party lenses and the other one isn't very good. The Tamron, on the other hand, is probably one of the best third party lenses you can get for the money. I used it a lot last summer for close-up work.

Sure you can, watch me and learn.

1) Tokina 17mm

I hope not to be able to play someday when I can afford Canon's 15mm but until then...
