nikon 50mm f/1.8g vs. nikon 50mm f/1.4g... which one?

The 1.8G is newer and honestly, based on reviews, is the better lens and is way cheaper. The difference is 2/3 of a stop from 1.8 to 1.4. Unless you do a lot of dimly to dark lit photography and need a fast shutter speed, then go with the 1.4. Otherwise the 1.4 is the better bang for the buck IMHO.

Could you comment on the merits of 50mm F 1.8 vs. 85 mm F 1.8 for portrait photography much of which will just be shot in the home on a D7100.

Either lense is fine for portrait use though, but I prefer to keep portraits to around 50-85mm so on my aps-c sensor body it left me with one choice. A fx lens on a dx body has a focal length of 1.5x the rating. So a 50mm on a D7100 comes out to a 75mm, and the 85mm lens acts like a 127.rmm lens. For this reason I chose the 50mm F1.8 lens. It has nice bokeh and since the length isn't too long the portrait image still has some depth and isn't flattened.

Will the autofocus work on 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor lens for the D3200?

Yes, the auto-focus will work. But remember this is an FX lens. Your DX D3200 camera will register it as a 75mm lens rather than a 50mm lens.

Will it autofocus on D5300?

I have the D5100... I would only be assuming it would focus on the d5300.
