It all comes down to money....
If $$ no object...
D300 for sure. Great "new" features and good reviews on higher iso/grain results.
D200 should be able to get for a decent price since it's "old"
D80 if you don't want to spend the bucks on the "big boys" it's the little cousin of the D200. uses SD card instead of CF cards.
As previously stated... it's all about the GLASS. The kit lens will be ok, but the more you shoot... you will be wanting more out of the camera that your kit lens can't do. Vibration Reduction, 2.8 Aperture.... together make for a good combo.
Yesterday, I went to my local photography store and was looking at nikon lens. I need to get faster glass for the no flash churches and dark receptions... but I need to put some more money aside for the perchase. The lens cost more then my cameras combined. (I have the D80 & a D50)
If you get the D200 with the 18-200vr lens, then you can do a lot with it and not have to do any lens changes. But even with that combo you will find some limitations.
Good luck on your decision making.... let us know what you get.

For a lens, you could JB Weld the bottom off a Miller High Life bottle onto the lens mount, and call it "fine art photography".
