85 and 135 lenses on 35mm film bodies are the favourites for portraits normally. Generally the longer lenses are better for portraits whenever you can. On a 1.6 crop body and trying to build up a kit on a budget I'd go with the 60mm as it allows macro work and portrait, so gives good value for money. It also has a very good reputation.
The 50mm 1.4 would be the choice if low light was going to be a constant problem. If you have the money to get a portrait lens, a macro and the 50mm for low light work at a good price then do so as then you have the best of all worlds.
