If you can't answer this for yourself, stick with what you have.
If you don't already own a DSLR, you should give the matter more thought before buying one.
The Nikon 24-120mm has a fairly poor reputation as not being a sharp lens.
There's no comparison between the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 II and the 24-120 - It's night and day.
Nikon recently came out with a 2nd version of their 24-70 f/2.8. Some say that it's much better than the original, I've heard at one reviewer say it was less sharp.
Go to Photozone.de and check out their analysis of the older 24-70 f/2.8 to the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8. The Tamron is about 5-10% less sharp depending upon focal length and aperture. However, it's less expensive than the original Nikon 24-70 by $500, and $1,000 less than the newest version with VR.
You will definitely pay more for the Nikon and will get diminishing returns on your investment. Whether the extra $$$ is worth it is your call.
The two single solution Nikkor lenses may not be either of those lenses
The Nikkor 18-200 mm is designed for use with any of the cropped sensor (DX) Nikon cameras a is an excellent lens for shooting motocross and other daylight sports as well as a decent editorial lens.
The sister lens, the Nikkor 28-300 mm lens is designed to cover the same subjects when using an FX camera
The Nikkor 24-70 mm f/2.8 and 70-200 mm f/2.8 are specifically designed for shooting sports in low light. Fashion and portrait photographers sometimes use the 24-70 mm f/2.8 as well.
Here is a link to what the different focal length Nikkor lenses actually see. After spending some time there, you should have a better idea which "next" lens you buy will be.
The two other links are to shots taken with the 18-200 mm mounted on a Nikon D300.
Between the two, the 24-120mm due to the longer zoom range but it will be sorely lacking on the wide end if used with an APS-C camera.
