What lenses are compatible with Nikon D5100?

I understand that all Nikkor lenses post 1960 will actually fit the body, and DX lenses will work the best, but specifically I would like a little help deciding between these two seemingly identical lenses for my camera.

AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D
AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G

Which one of these lenses would work the best for my D5100?

The AF version will not autofocus with your D5100. Get the AF-S model

ANY Nikkor AF-S lenses can be used on your D5100

Here is a list of all the lenses available

The second lens you listed, the AF-S Nikon 50mm f/1.8G will autofocus. For future reference, you can look here for fully compatible lenses
