Nothing changed between 07 and 08 aside from the colour schemes..
I'm currently on a 06 Gixxer 1000. It's my 3rd bike and it needs a lot of respect let me tell you. Not a bike I'd recommend for a 1st timer at all!! You get a litre bike and there is a 90% chance you won't be around after 3 months.
From your list of bikes the gixxer is the most streetable and is also the fastest overall. fact. But, although it's a great bike it's not for you - not yet.
Have you looked at the Hyosung GT650R? If you are looking at a big bike and you think you'll upgrade eventually then this is a good option. It's not as expensive as the main stream bikes, yet it's a very nice ride and a nice bike overall.
Else get a 600 in any of the brands you suggested. The gixxers are all new in 08. Greaat bikes and really look the part.
Get some rider training.
