Live View isn't all that handy for DSLR's actually and you get a better sense of how the image should be framed using a viewfinder. Nice to have but not a deal breaker. Usefull if your doing any macro photography or any video though.
Go for the D5100 if you can. I believe the D3100 has live view also.

cool, thanks!!  yah, i think D3100 is probably best for me...
