The older prior version 105mm f2.8 AFD is also great. I use this underwater in my underwater housing.
I have a non macro 105mm f2.5 AI that produces superb images. It is bashed and modified but still works well and produces sharp images and is about 50 years old and I have had it 44+years.
My point is go for the older metal bodied lenses as they are beautifully crafted. The new plastic bodied lenses are less likely to last so long!
One caveat as well is if you want AF then the AFS lenses work on ALL Nikon cameras unless it is a G series (most modern), AFD lenses are good but only work on cameras with the built (screwdriver) AF motors in bodies.
