NikonnooB, I ended up buying the Bogen/Manfrotto 190XDB (non-pro model) legs, with an Induro SA-01 ballhead. The nice thing about the ballhead I got: it has a quick-release lever; I'm notorious for leaving the plate attached to my camera, and it's so much more convenient to just flip the lever and take it off, than it is to unscrew the whole thing.
Thusfar, I'm loving it, but I haven't really used it "out in the field" yet, as I'm still looking for an easier way to cart it around. Total cost was about $180 for the combo, but I purchased locally (read: probably paid too much), so you may be able to find it less online.
One thing to keep in mind with the weight-test: your DSLR & lenses may be light
now but you definitely want something you can grow with. The legs I bought will hold up to 11lbs, while the head I bought will go up to about 8 - that's going to be enough to keep me out of trouble for a while.
