get a nikkor 80-200 AF-D
I've been using the 80-200 for quite a long time and had alot of success with it. buying 2nd hand of the 80-200 (2-ring version) is almost the same cost as that of Tamron or Sigma but what you get is already a nikkor... nikkor is nikkor
from dpreview regarding the 2 lenses:
"Overall, if you appreciate the limitations of this lens and stick within its practical limits, it provides much of the performance of the camera manufacturers' equivalents at a much lower price. Potential buyers will also inevitably compare it to the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm 1:2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro, and here the choice essentially boils down to the superior optics of the Tamron versus the Sigma's excellent autofocus system. Indeed ultimately that hypersonic motor is the Sigma's strongest selling point, so if you're looking for a budget fast telezoom for low light or action work, then this is the lens for you."
I've visited Peter Go's shop last friday and he is selling a 80-200 f2.8 lens at a discount. There are also other lenses other than the 80-200 to be sold at a discount as well. You better check them before others get them first.
