Of those you\'ve listed, I prefer the Sigma 150, because of its wider range of uses. All are great, though.
For dedicated tabletop use, though, my inclination would probably be to go with either a more basic 90-105mm macro lens (even an older 105/2.8 AIS would work great) or to make the leap up to MikeW\'s suggestion of an 85mm perspective control. Provided you take the time to master it, that would make more of a difference for this kind of work than the subtle differences between the lenses you\'ve listed.
