So when you're ready to go a step higher in sharpness, save your money for the ED lenses!

Agree wholeheartedly with Maximus - invest in glass (FX, IMO) once you get your camera, DX-format notwithstanding.
For a good value, good quality zoom, I'd suggest the 70-300 VRII zoom. It's an FX lens with ED glass and is nicely balanced and quite sharp. It's internal focus, unlike the (agree with previous poster) poor 55-300 DX lens, so once you've set your focal length, focusing won't cause any more external extension/retraction of the lens AND the filter ring doesn't rotate so you can use a polarizing filter no problems.
The 35mm F1.8 DX is a nice prime for the D7000 (or any Nikon DX body), lots of light and very nice size.
