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.
