1. From the ones you listed, without doubt the Canon Rebel. Personally I prefer the Nikon D70s to the Rebel though. If you have some more money, go for the Nikon D200 though. It's a beaut, but expensive for someone just starting out. Go with the Nikon D70s. You can't go wrong. Just remember to get a couple of lenses as well.
2. If your wife is looking to do this as a hobby, I would recommend the Canon Rebel. It is the best 8 mega pixel digital SLR under $1,000 out there. Now if she is seriously thinking of getting into photography, I would recommend the Nikon D200. This is the camera I have. There are so many things that you can do with it, but like Jedi said it does get expensive. I paid $1,600 for the body only, after purchasing 2 lens a new tripod, a 6GB compact flash, and some other little things, I spent around $2,500... Good Luck
