Canon zoom for video - STM or USM? Best optics & quietest focus combo?

I'm looking for a single lens solution for wide to mid-range for video.
I know people that swear by the (pricey) 24-70mm ll L lens.
I'm interested in the 24-105mm STM lens because of its (apparently) quieter focusing.
I will be using an on camera RODE mic a lot.
There are also comparable zooms from Sigma and Tamron.
So, what's my best combination in terms of optics and silent focusing?
Weather sealing is not an issue for me; just sound and image quality.
Thanks.

What body are you pairing it with? Yes, the 24-70 II is a go to, but are you relying on the DPAF or manually focusing? Are you going to be pulling focus as well? Will you be tracking people moving thru a scene?

Thanks for the reply and apologies for the delay in my reply.
I use a 5D Mark IV.
Thanks.
