It depends on your camera body and other bodies you may want to use the lens with.

that should be f/3.5-4.5 for the AF-S 24-85G


... or you could wait and see what the new AF-S VR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED will be like which should be out in the next month or so.

If you have one of the current Nikon bodies that support the AFS and G functions of the lens then you should get the AFS24-85.
It's fast and silent and very well priced. Optics is good too.

I personally use the AFS 24-85 on a F90X. I'm stuck w/o Aperture Priority though which can be a pain but the newer bodies will work perfectly.

Go for the 24mm-85mm IF 2.8-4 D. The G version a bit soft in 85mm.
