Out of those 2 would chose the D7000 better high ISO performance and better image quality better dynamic range and also better viewfinder coverage 100% compared to 96%.
Personally I chose the Pentax K-5.

Definitely look at Sony. I am not knocking those two cameras one bit. They are both excellent. But when I was upgrading my dslr, I looked hard at the d7000. real hard. But the Sony a580 had the same sensor and I was happy with the picture quality of my older Sony, so I bought the Sony and I am glad that I did.
The Sony's are just as good and quite a bit cheaper with excellent quality built in. By purchasing the Sony I was able to also buy a Carl Zeiss lens and remain in budget.
The only down side to my a580 is that it will only do manual focus in video mode. Since I do not shoot video with a dslr, I did not care. All of the new Sony's have auto focus now in video mode and the video quality is superb.
So yes, I would suggest looking at the Sony line up before deciding.

Both are good cameras. I use the D7000.
I have played with the Canon 60D and it feels nice, ergonomically.
Snapsort rates the Nikon higher.

Goofy, I know you're biased toward Nikon.
I just have no use for one. :P hehehehee

Yep, Nikon since the 70's...hard to hide it. :?
I did like the feel of the 60D, it costs less and is easier to find.
FYI: I bought 12 Canon Rebel XS cameras for the school where I work, if that takes some biasness (?) away from me a bit.
If video is important, the D7000 does not have a tilt screen like the Canon 60D.

One major magazine rated the 60D just ahead of the 7000. Go to good camera store, Play with all three - see which you like holding the best and buy it. How a camera feels in your hands is more important than you might think.

You owe it to yourself to look into the Sony alpha lineup. They are part of the big three now: Sony, Canon, Nikon. HINT: If your tastes lean toward D7000 or 60D, checkout out the Sony a77. You'll be impressed. Whatever you choose, enjoy and have fun!

I think you will find that the camera will not be a long-term investment. Unlike the film cameras of yesteryear, digital bodies are replaced by new models about every two years. I have a D7000, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the D7100 will be like.
What people generally do is stick with brand and concentrate on getting good lenses. Cameras comes and go, but lenses are forever. That's where you want to avoid compromising.
As for deciding what camera to buy, I always like to read reviews by people who compare cameras for a living.

I do LOVE my tilt screen. Slippery rocks on a steep hill near a mountain stream? No problem!
