Nikon SLR Cameras

Need some help from you guys in choosing the best of these two cameras?

After long contemplations it has come down to these two:

( not the best but has a decently wide lens that comes with it)

Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-135mm AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
new $799.99
used $420.00
---

( I have to buy wider lens separately for this camera)

Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

new $729
used $600. + separate lens for $165

I would prefer to get something that I can gradually upgrade thru time and easily find parts for it
However I'm not sure which of the two that might be,

Thanks,

Added (1). I don't have either camera brands,
That's why I'm trying to decide which one to buy,
I don't want to spend more than I need to on a good camera,

It sounds as if you already have the beginnings of a Nikon system

Changing systems is ALWAYS expensive.

Have a look at the Nikon D90 and save your pennies a little longer, you will be much happier with it much more advanced features

With the eventual ability upgrade to a Nikon D3, choosing the NIkon may be the better system to choose
