Kenko make good 3rd party extension tubes and there are other brands out there. Since the tube has no glass within it they are lot easier to build and thus 3rd party is a very valid option (esp as many own brand companies overprice on extension tubes to use them to help generate profit).
Macro lens wise they can be expensive and I'm not 100% sure what is available in the Sony mount. Sigma and Tamron might do them in sony mount; if so the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro and Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro and 105mm f2.8 macro would be good options to look at. Note the Sigma 105mm has a new OS edition which is optically not that different, but which has OS (stabilization in the lens); but second hand copies of the previous version would be well worth a look at.
