D3100 is going to have better video capabilities which you outlined as a need, image quality will be similar, d90 is a better photographers camera with more capabilities technically but not necessary for a beginner, if you're willing to spend the extra $400 spend it on a nice prime lens and you'll be more than happy with the d3100.

The D3100 is better for beginners because it has a great guide that will help you set up the camera to take the right photo based on the setting and subject. -

The D90 is getting long in the tooth anyways. I think either the D3100 or D3200 are great choices for you!
