Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro. It's a true macro with a 1:1 ratio. It's focus is quiet and fast and it can double as a great closeup portrait lens.

The Sigma 70mm has tested out as the best macro lens available, bar none, however the Sigma 105mm is also a great lens, both are excellent lenses, worth looking into.
