Extension tubes, or macro lenses?

Yet again, I’m facing another dilemma. Eer since I’ve been interested in photography, I’ve been interested in shooting macro. However, as most photographers (or even noobs) are probably aware, macro lenses cost a fortune. SO! Here’s my question. Out of the three, which would be the best to shoot macro with, with accordance to price vs quality.
1. A set of Nikon extension tubes (PK-11A, PK-12, and PK-13) selling for $245CAN (off ebay, so no tax)
2. Nikon AF-S 85mm f/3.5 IF ED VR II DX Micro-Nikkor Lens ($655.34CAN after tax)
3. Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8 VR IF-ED Nikkor Macro Lens ($949.19CAN after tax)
