D40: If you can find a store that has one, this can be a good option. Its got better than average results in higher-ISO noise, is small and light and a great starter. Its also cheap, especially since it's recently been discontinued
D40x: Wouldnt bother, and that's assuming you can find one. The D40x was replaced by the D60 years ago.
D60: Just replaced by the D3000. Unless you need the larger screen, more AF points or the Guide mode, this too can be a good option
D3000: Newest one out, has a good feature set but can be a handful. Has a better AF than the D60 and the new Guide feature which could be good for a newcomer to SLRs.
You're leaving out the D5000, too, which would likely be your best overall bet, though at that point I'd just spring for the D90. Depends on what your budget is and how strict that number is.
