"NIKON AF- ZOOM- NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G" Will this lens work on Nikon D5200 camera?

If YES are there any other lenses better/suitable than this one?

If NOT what type of lenses must I go for of the type listed above?

Yes, but if you want an auto-focus lens for your D5200, you need to look at all the Nikkor AF-S lenses

Here is a link to all of them

It's a bit confusing. You say that it is an AF lens, but after the aperture, you put a G, which means that it's an AF-S lens.
If it's just an AF lens, then you can't auto focus with your 5200. If it's AF-S, then you can.

As for your second question, you didn't tell us what kind of photography you want to do, so we can't tell you what lens is more suitable.

This is not Nikon's best lens. It is only AF, which means it won't autofocus on your camera. And yes, some "G" lenses are AF.

The best lens if you want a 70-300 is the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. They are almost $600, but you can buy one that is Nikon factory refurbished for less than $400.
