Whoops, I failed to mention I'm doing digital. I currently have a Canon 10D, it has the 1.6x crop.
Thanks for your insights. What do you use for your 2nd main light? When I'm thinking macro I'm thinking 'out in the field' mostly hiking around, but I guess I can bring specimens back to my house, and get better lighting that way. I have a tiny photoflex reflector I got for doing some macro stuff too, it seems handy for reflecting a little bit of light back onto the subject. Its only about 12" when its unfolded.

I have done a lot of macro work for clients, but on larger film cameras. So, I will leave the EOS macro questions for others. You did not mention what camera/format you are using, but the 100mm Macro, a lens I use, is a nice focal length for general macro work on full-frame. Yes, the 180mm will give you more working room between camera and subject.
