I wouldn't buy either one for travel. I own the 55-200, and leave it home for most travel. It's small for what it does, but for me, it's too big for travel and I'd just leave it in the hotel because I wouldn't want to carry it. If I needed reach, I'd take it, but where I travel, I don't typically need reach.

The 90 is a portrait lens. You can use it for medium telephoto needs, but where I travel, I don't typically need that either. Again, for me, it's too large for travel.

If I was dead set on taking something telephoto, I'd take the 55-200 because it's more versatile.
