one more point. A Superglide is an empty canvas. You save some green on the initial cost, but you can take the bike in any direction you want. Get the custom for a few dollars more and much of the chrome is already on there. I love mine, doing mods to it is as much fun as riding the durn thang.

Its well worth the extra couple grand IMO
Buddy bought a 1200c and after a 40 mile ride on it I couldnt wait to get back on my Super Glide.

Super Glide is the entry point of the big Harleys. It has a stronger frame than a sportster and better highway characteristics (big trucks don't blow you around as much.) It's not as fast as the sportster getting off the line -- I think someone on this site once said a sportster will beat a Dyna 0-40 but a Dyna will beat the sportster 40-100.

I think the Dynas are more versatile if you plan to do any long trips or ride 2-up frequently. The Sporty's can easily do these too...just a bit less comfortably.
In terms of what model in the family to pick, it depends on what you want to do with it. My Street Bob was the perfect blank canvas for me....I prefer black over chrome, and I like the SB more than the Fat Bob.
