After asking this questionthis question I'm thinking the 35mm prime lens will do the job for me. Since I take a number of photos indoors and in low light conditions, this lens will let me sty reasonably close to my subjects and still be crisp. The question now is do I get the new 35mm DX lens or the 2.0f full frame. I'm looking for any justification for the extra $100 or so for the 35mm 2.0f. Here are links to the Canadian prices:

Nikkor AF 35mm 2.0F $399 AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G $279

Thanks for all the help and insight. Really liking this stackexchange site so far.

Update: Just wanted to state that I have a D90 so the auto-focus motor isn't an issue. More so the quality of the lens and the speed of focus. Update #2: So I just bought the 35mm DX 1.8f off of B&H. First time ordering from them, so we'll see how that goes. Should get the lens in a couple days - excited to give it a try and see how much difference it makes compared to the 50mm prime. Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

Is the Nikon 35mm 1.8 or 2.0 worth the extra money over the 1.8?
