Sigma 105mm or Tamron 90mm macro if you could stretch your budget a little

Have a shifty here for EF-S 60mm pics. Should be enough to whet your appetite!

The main differance is working distance (MWD) - the distance from the end of the lens to the subject.

so ideally with a macro - the smaller the better?

Not really - The table shows the distance from the end on the lens to subject for maximum magnification (MWD) a longer distance is usually better as you don't have to be as close to your subject so you are less likely to spook them for bug / spiders etc.
