5D v2.0.3 vs 7D vs 1D Mark IV

I've not really found much in the way of a comparison between this three cameras, especially not since the 2.0.3 firmware for the 5D was released.

I'm planning on purchasing a set of Zeiss Ikon lenses, so I'll be going body only. I have a 1024x600 7 inch HDMI monitor that I'll be using. I'll be pairing it with a Rode VideoMic for basic audio and maybe the occasional Sennheiser lav. I want the best low light response when paired with those Zeiss Ikons. I also have the microShoulderMount so if I can use that as well instead of needing to purchase a more HDSLR-centric mount, that would be great too.

The camera will probably be used for quick little web-video interviews/testimonials, maybe a couple of shorts, ect. I plan to use the camera to take professional stills as well (I did some great work with a D90 last year and I'd like to continue to develop my skills in that area). I also might need to connect a 300-400mm lens on it to film one of the final space shuttle launches.

I'm also hopeful that I can start assembling this package around summertime. Opinions on which body I should take a serious look at?
