is a Fatboy rim the only basic rear solid rim choice for my 03?

The only difference is the bearing size. No big deal. They can easily be changed.

That is not true, the bearing size is the same. In 03 Fatboy went to a 150mm rear tire. Instead of changing everything, for clearance. MOCO changed the hub offset on the rear wheel. So the 03-06 Fatboy rear wheel fits without worries about clearances causing belt rubbing issues.
I checked all of this extensively when I was shopping for new wheels. Many wheels will just bolt in, kinda like many different shoes will fit, however, the proper size will not cause issues, later.

It should. Use the MoCo catalog to do the cross referencing.
TLB is also correct about the offset....I forgot about the wider tire/narrower belt on the newer Fat Boys.
