I've no experience with the Nikkor 10-20mm DX, but use the Nikkor 10-24mm DX extensively. Obviously, it has a 4mm advantage in zoom range over the 10-20mm. 4mm may not seem like much, but I'll take it if it gives me a little more reach. The 10-24mm produces exceptionally high quality underwater images. The majority of the photographs posted on my website (www.cortezbluephotography.com) were produced using the Nikkor 10-24mm DX. It's popular enough to have mini-domes designed for it, and on my Ikelite rig, it requires no close-up filter to focus.
Unless I'm shooting very large animals like manta rays, I'm not a fan of the Tokina fisheye zoom. I don't like the curvature that accompanies its use.
I recently picked-up a Nikkor 16-85mm DX and tested it on a recent trip to San Carlos, Sonora. Some photographs from the trip are posted on the Cortez Blue Photography Facebook page. The lens performed well for smaller subjects like fish and morays.
