Question Macro lenses

Having finally decided on which model of DSLR to treat myself to, the next dilema is to aquire a good macro lens for it.

I am looking at either a 150mm or 180mm dedicated lens as I strongly feel that I can match the results from any 105mm macro with either my Fuji S7000 or Coolpix 5700 , plus the longer macro lenses would be very useful for getting close to the more elusive species that will not allow close approach.

What I'd like is anyones opinions/advice on what they consider to be good lenses within this class, I know that there are many excellent photographers within the membership of this site, alot of whom already use DSLR's, so your advice would be very welcome.

Just for the record the DSLR that I have chosen to purchase is the Nikon D70s, this is based largely on the fact that I already own several good Nikon lenses that will fit the D70s.
