To answer the original question
350D is a very easy choice just because it is new/more feature laden/much faster
Canon really DOES have an amazing selection of lenses.
You might want to consider the D70 from Nikon. The kit lens is VERY nice and they are dropping in price very fast. Nikkor lenses are great too. The D70 is somewhere between the 20d and 350d. Do not let the megapixel race bother you too much 6mp is enough. More is better only sometimes depending on certain applications. Heck...the new D2hs has only 4mp and it is an amazing piece of equipment.
Go and hold the 350d and d70 and buy the one that feels better in hand. Try the UI out. Look up lenses and accesories in order to set some sort of budget for yourself. You will need a nice tripod now to hold that weight as well as memory cards, bag, flash, etc. I say you should also consider a storage device. The reason why I bough the archos gmini 400 over the h320 and karma is because of that CF slot.
hope this helped
