Macro camera selection


I am posting to ask others who have a passion for macro photography what their preference of camera and lens would be. I have used a Canon 20D and Tamaron 60mm macro lens in the past and had great success with that (or as much that can be had with only a 60mm). I moved to a SONY NEX 5 with their version of a macro lens and have taken loads of great shots, but again, having to practically be on top of the subject is very limiting. I am considering purchasing a Nikon with a 90+ macro/micro lens. What should I be looking for besides resolution, points of focus and image stabilization. I don't have endless funds, but I do want something with the power to take great macro shots as well as (with another lens) take portraits of family and landscape shots.
