AF vs Manual Lenses for Manual Camera


I have a Nikon FE and will probably upgrade to a N80 or N90 in the next couple of years (it's not financially possible right now)

I need to buy a zoom for the FE and was originally planning to buy an AF zoom (3.5-4.5 28-105) so that when I bought an AF camera I would have that capability with my zoom. Problem is, the focusing rings on the AF zooms that I've tried feel really loose - so loose that it's hard to focus accurately. Am I better off buying a manual focus zoom now and then buying an AF zoom when I actually get the AF camera?

Thanks for your help!
