The problem with this question (which gets asked at least once a week, and usually more like twice daily) is that everyone will pretty much answer that you should go with the system that they themselves have gone with.
Fact of the matter is, the two cameras are both great and it all comes down to which you prefer. Go to a store that sells both of them and ask to fondle their floor models. Take a few pictures, get a bit of a feel for the camera, think about which you'd rather spend hours holding if you have to shoot an event of some sort.
Me, I'm a Rebel XTi owner, so I'm gonna say go with the XTi. Gives you the option of fast prime lenses (e.g., the extremely economical 50mm f/1.8), which the D40/D40x lacks (well, it can use 'em, it just can't autofocus them, and modern SLRs aren't set up to let you manually focus at wider than f/2.5 or so). Most of the shooting I prefer to do is indoors in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, so that's important to me. If you plan to shoot mostly outdoors with the sun giving you an assist, the D40x is just as good--although the D40x doesn't give you that much of an advantage over the D40 to justify its cost increase, so you'd be better off getting a D40 and spending the rest of the money on glass.
TLDR: Nikon sucks, fags. Get a Canon.
