If you shoot a lot of handheld low light, then skip the d200. I have one and it's a great camera, but the sensor gets really noisy above 800 iso., even with good glass you're still limited in this regard (I use the Nikon 17-55 af-s most of the time) I have a d300 as well, and it's a lot better at high iso than the d200. The D90 supposedly has a similar sensor.
If you shoot mostly daylight or on tripods, then the d200 might be worth it for the extra controls at your fingertips and build quality. Personally I wouldn't even consider the D5000 because of the lack of front scroll wheel and focus motor...and small viewfinder.
