Reading the posts above and having past experience with the D40x and D5000 I would definitely say to go for the D7000. I have it since it came out and it is a very good (quite amazing in some respects) camera.
The D700 is old technology and although it still is a very good camera I would not put money into it anymore.
The D800 may be too much for your needs, it will put some pressure on your post processing and maybe will even require an upgrade for the computer you are using. It is also too expensive for you, as you said so don't bother with it.
I am pretty sure that the D7000 will give you everything you need, all of your lenses should work perfectly in this body, the image quality and burst speed is just incomparable with D40. It is new, will be up to date for the next 2-3 years for sure. It will also allow you to use commander mode for flashes, which D40 cannot do and many other things very useful for many types of photography.
I don't think there is anything else to chose from, to be honest - maybe D5100 if you want to save some money, although I would no recommend it in this case.
