The sigma 150 and 180macro are very good optically. The 180 has (at least in my example) crap build quality.. after two years (and I suppose some 30'000 shots to be fair) the polymer coating is peeling off. I fully agree this is a probably consequence of a combination of sun protection and insect repellant, but nevertheless!
The new sigma 180 2.8 looks interesting, but is still fantasy-ware.
The Nikon 105 is a trusty favourite ... you cannot go wrong with it but I find the results lack a little something (probably skill on my part).
I still like the zeiss 100 if you can live with MF (and for macro it is a fact of life).
This is with the Sigma 180, f9, 1/640 on the D4 and heavily cropped.
