My wife wants a digital SLR and are considering the Nikon D series and the Canon Rebel series, along with a Sony A300K. Which one is best for AP? Are they all about the same?

I am not sure one can answer which is "best" but I have gotten serious mileage and quality from my EOS 300D and 350D. The former provides me with an image scale of 1.27"/pixel when used with my AP160 whereas the second comes in at 1.10"/pixel - the respective pixel sizes are 7.4 and 6,4 microns.
The Canon EOS series has a tremendous lead when it comes to astrophotography based on the shear number of imagers who use them.
One advantage the digital Nikons have is the high burst rate and which pales the Canon EOS burst rate. The latest version of the EOS 5D announced very recently has made serious progress in this regard.
