[QUOTE="jherring002, post: 473270, member: 38994"] Both would autofocus and meter for you. Edit: wait a sec. Let me read. Didn't see this was in d40/x thread Edit 2: OK got it. You are on a DX camera, so the 35mm will give you about the equivalent of the human eye view. On a DX camera, 35mm translates to really being a 52.5mm lens because of the crop factor. A 50mm lens would translate to a 75mm lens and be more of a telephoto lens then. The 35mm would probably be best for your needs. As far a versatility, they are both prime lenses so I would say they are about equal. One you will need to be backing up to get the shot, the other you will need to be getting a bit closer.
