Which DSLR? (& should I turn to the dark side?)

Hi All, I'm toying with a foray over to the dark side of imaging (from lunar and planetary) and thought one of the Canon DSLR's would be the way to go from what I've read. I've had a poke around in the various threads and have learned a bit but would appreciate some direct advice. Some questions:

of these which is best for unmodified imaging and relative cost/benefit?
350D
20D
40D
400D

if I get camera body only are lenses readily puchased separately?

what's needed to hook these up to a C9.25 and what guiding options are people using? Expect though mostly people are imaging on small apos on top of things like 9.25s?

finally, I've read a fair bit of modifications and whether they're worth it or not. I'm thinking a camera mainly for astro here, but it would always be nice to know it could be put to standard use. Thoughts?

Many Thanks,

Rob
