Which of the new Arc'teryx mittens are the warmest? These or the Sigma AR mitts? I know with the SV designation and being heavier probably the Alpha SV but I noticed that the Sigma AR's have fleece and primaloft for insulation while the SV's only have fleece.

Depends a bit on what you're doing in them-for low-output activities the Sigma AR has a higher level of insulation.But the Alpha SV has a more breathable construction (they're built like the Arc'teryx jackets with laminated face fabric, instead of a Gore liner) and a high loft fleece on the back of the hand, so for times when sweaty palms might be involved, the Alpha SV will actually keep your hand more comfortable. Plus, the construction on the Alpha Mitts is amazing.
