Macro lenses tend to be one of those things that it doesn't matter what you 
buy, it is going to be good.
You could go for the Sigma for the brighter maximum aperture, but you could 
also look for a Tamron or Vivitar 90mm lens, both made macros in the 
f2.5-2.8 range.
I'm not a real lover of Sigma lenses on general principals, but I have owned 
both Tamron and Vivitar macros and found them to be excellent.
