The thing is you arnt really going to know until you go into a store and pick up all the cameras your looking at and snap off a few shots to see how the camera feels. All the cameras you have mentionead are all capable of capturing very decent photos, its going to come down to how much you know about photography, thats going to decide how good your photographs are. I would work out your max budget and then spend roughly as much on a lens as you would on the body. If you are aiming at purely studio work look into primes.
If you do you research you will find common lens combos among semi pro shooters. A lot of people have similar combos for good a reason, best value/quality.
You will find a lot of canon shooters have 10-22mm or 17-40L + 70-200L with a few other primes/macros. I would expect you would find a similar trend in the nikon camps. This is becuase they are excellent quality and reasonably priced. Ask around the forums and you will find what people are using as a lot of these dudes have taken the long expensive upgrade path to get the setup they have.
