The 70mm is one of the sharpest full frame lenses available (many tests show this). Which lens you choose is personal.
The 105mm OS has image stabilisation, a silent AF motor.
Personally I would choose the 70mm from these two, as I like the field of view better for close up stuff (on APS-C). Again, that is a personal choice. The 70mm is an excellent lens to also use for portraits, with its equivalent focal length to a full frame 112mm lens.
What is ideal for you, only you can figure out. Both are very good lenses, as are many other macro lenses from Tamrom (60/90/180mm), Sigma (70/105/150/180mm), Canon (100/180mm) and Tokina (35mm).
