Make sure it is a true macro lens. 1:1

That's the only advice I can offer.

dont get caught up in name brand stuff. I had a sigma 100mm macro and it was excellent

Is that one of the ones they sell on eBay?

They sell all of them on ebay :o)

What's your budget? You can get various ones at different price points. At $300-$400, the Tokina is very good. At $800-$1000, the Nikon is slightly better. At $1,500, Nikon makes a great zoom macro. You'll likely want something in the 90mm to 110mm range, and definitely 1:1.
