This discussion actually comes up with some frequency.

I've got diopter lenses, all sorts of dedicated macro lenses (both native and adapted), and extension tubes.

Over the years, though, what I have discovered works best for me, is long tele lenses with the extension tubes. (I do have to admit to springing for the Kenko tubes, after having very variable luck with the cheap ones.)

All of these options are really excellent choices; it's just what and how you prefer to shoot that will determine which works best for your purposes.
