So which should I get if I am looking for a fisheye effect?

Neither....

The Sigma 10-20mm is a rectilinear ultra-wide angle, and the 15mm "loses" quite a bit of it's "fisheye-ness" on a crop body.

That said, I love my Sigma 10-20mm :)

the canon 15mm, since it is a fisheye lens, and the sigma 10-20 is not -- it is a rectilinear UWA.

neither. Get one of the fisheyes designed for a crop sensor like the SIgma 8mm or the Tokina 10-17.
