AF Telephoto lens for Nikon D5000?

I figured out the hard way that the D5000 doesn't have the built in AF motor and I've been looking for an AF Telephoto lens for a while. If you can, it'd be much appreciated if you can link me to some Nikkor or Tamron ones.

Knowing your budget would be helpful.

The Nikkor 55-200mm VR or 55-300mm VR are decent and affordable.

Stay away from telephoto lenses without an image stabilizer even though they may be a lot cheaper.

Sigma makes a motorized 70-300. Nikon's 55-200 and 55-300 and 70-300 are also motorized. All depends really what you want to spend and why you want a telephoto. Personally I'm now shooting a sigma 150-500 which is fine for me but too big for most people.
