Depends on what your wanting, if you want something more video based, you'll probably want the D5000. But, if you want something more Photography based, you more likely to want the D3100. I'm going with the D3100 instead of the D5100 because it looks more video based.
My personal opinion is the D40, although it has less pixels it produces less image noise than the D3000 i.e. you could be using the D40 at twice the iso of the D3000 for the same amount of image noise. There are a number of differences that could be a deal breaker to some. The D3000 has better autofocus. The D40 has higher flash sync 1/500 using ITTL and 1/4000 when not.
December 2014 you can pick a D90 for as little as £150 used on WEX photographic; however new on SLR hut with 18-55mm you will pay £460 for a new one.
