Cannon or Nikon would be the ones to go for as second hand or alternative lens's / accessories are more available.
I bought a Olympus which is a very good camera but later found out that options are either limited and or expensive

Canon for me-I have a 20D-been considering/dreaming of an upgrade to the new 50D.

I use a Canon 1Ds MkII and Canon 20D's as back ups. They've never failed. There's a good range of lens and accessories, with good servicing.
Although I use Canon, Nikon are also great cameras. I would say, see if you can have a go with both, then pick the one that 'You' prefer.
I'm happy to answer any questions on Canon gear.
