Eric,
I have them both (AIS) and consider them the two best lenses I have
ever used for the purpose you have in mind. I've never seen anything
sharper than the 85mm f/1.4 and the 105mm f/1.8 is a very close second.
I've never used the 105mm f/2.8 but it has a reputation that suggests
you should consider it too.
Harvey
