What macro lense?

If I had the cash I'd upgrade my Canon 100mm f2.8 macro to the new L version with IS. Doubles up as an amazing portrait lens too. Relatively expensive though.

You could probably pick up a used Canon 50mm f2 macro cheap, or Canon 60mm f2.8 EF-S.

The Sigma 105 and Tamron 90 are good 3rd party lenses.

If budget is really tight then consider some screw-on filters that fit onto your kit lens. They can produce good results, especially if you're not bothered about producing large prints.

It really depends on your budget, like Tom suggests.
 
The canon 100mm is a lovely piece of glass, you won't be disapointed and it should hold it's value well. You're making a good move investing more in lenses than bodies as well mate.
 
Got an used 60mm f/2.8 macro today, rather happy with it, hardly waiting for the warm spring days, considered the 100mm but I'm not really into bulky ones.
