Out of the choices you've given, I'd choose either the 30D or 40D. Unless you have a boxful of Nikon lenses you want to continue to use, the less-noisy nature of the Canons for astrophotography makes them the way to go. Just makes sense to go Canon for astrophotography at this time, IMHO.

I chose "none of the above," and instead picked the new 400D (Rebel XTI), and am quite happy with it so far both for terrestrial and celestial imaging.
