I always recommend glass made by camera manufacturer. Here is the Pentax SMC D-FA 100mm f/2.8 WR macro lens:

The Tamron and Sigma both get great reviews on the Pentax Forum (http://www.pentaxforums.com ). If you are a member, check out the Market place, where there are usually a few macro lens listed for sale. It really depends on how much you want to spend.
