I was actually thinking about getting the 50f1.4

Poor choice, the less expensive 50mm 1.8 is a better performer (newer design). The 1.4 isn't as sharp at f2 and below as the 1.8 is, and is very soft with poor contrast at 1.4.
I'd suggest a tamron 17-50mm f2.8 zoom for every day use, and a 35mm f1.8 for low light.
Do you have any lenses already?
Is this your first DSLR?
Are you buying a body only or are you getting a kit lens (18-105 comes with the D7000 I believe)
What do you like to shoot?
If you have nothing, get the D7000 Kit with the 18-105 and get either the 50mm f/1.8G or 35mm f/1.8G and shoot for awhile until you can tell yourself what you need.
I suggest the 50mm f/1.8G (~ $219.00) The 18-105 is a great deal if you get it with a body. Not so much otherwise.
Is the 50mm f1.8 G better than the 50f1.8D?
I will be shooting portrait, landscape.

I didn't know the 1.4 isnt as good, I guess I will go with the 1.8, thanks for the suggestions. I will look into that tamron.
