Default d3000 and lens compatibility

Morning all! My company is selling a NIkon F5, and although I don't necessarily want the camera (its film) I'm really lusting over the lens that they're selling also. They are:
Nikkor 20mm 1:2.8
Nikkor 24mm 1:2.8
Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8 Macro
OK, so first of all, are these compatible with my d3000?
Secondly, if you could afford just one, which would it be?
These lens are pretty steep as far as cost goes, but I think I can get a really good deal on them through the company.....but need to know about any pitfalls that I may run into. Right off the bat I know I'll lose Auto-focus. Anything else I need to be aware of? Thanks for the help.

I'm to assume these are AF-D lenses

In either case, I'd recommend the 105 macro: Manual focus isnt an issue.

I'd also be tempted to advocate selling your 55-200 VR if need be.
