I have had both lenses and now use the 60mm because of the issue of weight. I loved the 100mm but could not shot it hand held. If you can handle it, it would be the better of the 2 lenses

I will be looking at the Tokina 100mm, Sigma 105mm and Tamron 90mm macro lenses for my D7100. The latest models of the latter two are a little more expensive than the Tokina but do have vibration reduction. That could make a massive difference when shooting handheld. For that reason I'm unlikely to get the Tokina.

It is important to know what type of macro subjects you will be shooting. A 60mm might be fine if you only want to shoot static subjects that can't run/jump/fly away. If you want to photograph things like butterflies, the greater working distance of longer focal lengths will help a lot. The longer the better. I currently have a 55mm macro but find getting close enough to bugs a challenge, 90mm or longer would make things easier.
