Which one should I get for my d5100?

NIKON MICRO 85MM F3.5 ED VR DX LENS

or

Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S

Added (1). Looking for something sharp and great quality also without using a tripod

Both will do a job, both will focus to 1:1 scale, 85mm will give you more working distance.

Personally I use the Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX, which is excellent. Sharper than the OEMs in some instances.
