Which lenses are the best for the nikon d3100?
Should i get the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED
or: AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G
or the kit lense or any others in mind that work really well with the camera?
35 1.8 is great for a photojournalist on FF.
800 4.5 is great for a sports shooter.
18-200 is good for a pap.
A good set of primes is nice for a portrait guy.
A kit 18-55 4-5.6 is enough for any kid in the backyard,
and a 24 2.8 ff perspective control is a necessity for an architecture guy.
No lens works with any camera. They mount but they are suited for your subject matter. I suggest you do more research before you start throwing money around.
Get the kit lens first and then find out what kind of photography you're into. Then either buy supplemental lenses to your kit lens or replace your kit lens with a better one and sell the kit lens on ebay.
It would be quite pointless to buy e.g. The 55-200mm lens if you happen to find out that you're more into landscapes and architecture, and could make better use of an ultra wide angle lens (e.g. 12-24mm).
It matters what you want to shoot. One lens is not better than another unless they cover the exact same range i.e. 50mm f1.8 vs 50mm f1.4
the 35mm is a good fast-wide angle lens whereas the 55-200 is a zoom lens that covers distance.
