I bought the 700 when it was introduced, it was a light-years upgrade from my previous D70. Great low-light performance. But 12mp has its limitations; if you often find yourself cropping your images severely, you may find yourself wishing you had more to work with. If I were to be honest (with myself), I would say that I mostly keep it for sentimental reasons; I really loved using it in its time, but now it's an emergency backup.
The 750 is my workhorse. Also great in low light, more mp, easier when I need to crop, and a full frame sensor.
The 7100 is also a good camera, but not as good in low light. I bought it because I was gifted a 17-55/f2.8 lens when I was shooting with the D70, which I loved and wanted to be able to use without reducing the pixels of the 700 (gotta love good glass). I still use it with my full frame lenses (the 17-55 was damaged, now only zooms 17-~35), particularly when I want a bit more reach, but only in good light situations or on a tripod.
Personally I would recommend the 750. But I am not familiar with the other cameras you're considering. And while the 700 was and is a great camera, there are better choices going forward.
