I would try them out, especially with the size/weight of the lense you expect to use most often. Canons are normally very good for those of us with large hands.
Something else to keep in mind is that you can reprogram all the buttons on a 20/30/40D. I am not sure if you can on a rebel.
One thing to keep in mind is that later on you can convert the rebel and 40D to IR, Jade is planning on doing that with her spare 20D.
Another factor to look at is how much buffer the cameras have. The 40D is probably like the 5D Jade uses in that it can take 20 or more pictures in rapid succession without slowing down.
Something to think about then you buy one of these is that each of the makers has has a color shift in their chips. If I remember Canons are blue, Nikons are orange and Olympus is a light gray. You will need to run a post process on your pictures to color correct.
