If you could state an actual dollar figure as your budget, and your willingness to buy used, that might be helpful.
You mention two Nikon WA D-series lenses. New, Nikon's 20/2.8 AFD is about $620 and the 24 about $540. New, the 20/1.8G is about $800 and 24/1.8G about $750. If you're thinking of getting a new AFD, I'd advise you to wait, save up a little more and get the G.
You're talking about the D7000. For landscapes/apertures beyond f/5.6, the 20 AFD would probably be just fine. For family stuff and tight interiors with poor lighting, or where you want to shoot a WA wide open, not so much. You'd be so much better off with the 20/1.8. For $180, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to get the older, slower AFD lens. Here's another recent thread on the 20 AFD:

I am looking to add a prime to my bag and would like some feedback. I would use this for family get togethers and as part of my "walk-around" kit. This would also get some landscape usage. I have used a 35 in the past but for me it is a little too close to the 50 and would prefer something a bit wider.
I currently own the following primes...
*50
*85
*100 macro
I also have a Tokina 11-16 (which continues to get more use than I imagined it would).
I am definitely on a budget which means the new Nikon 1.8's are out. I am very satisfied and content with the two Nikon D lenses I have (50 and 85) and am looking at the 20 and 24 2.8D's. I am thinking with the Tokina going to 16 that I would be fine with the 24 as the 20 is so close to the 16.
