Well, my opinion would be to try both of them out at a camera store. Look at the specs for each lens. The biggest (and most important, perhaps) factor is going to be your budget. From the research I've done, both lenses have been well-received and have performed greatly.
But, after all that, I would say that if I could pop for the 100mm macro lens, then I would. It's one of Canon's sharpest lenses, and it can double as a quality portrait lens. That's not to say the 60mm can't play both roles as well.
