You need to decide if auto focus is a must for your own personal choice. Other than the AF there is not much difference except in price. I like the ability to have both so I would purchase the 1.8G as I have done. :)
If you want to know more technical details I would go on Nikons website, but for simple differences there is not much between them.
I'm from the UK so I can't really say what it's like for prices in the U.S. If you check this site out you may get a better idea; it's a good price guide. Also check amazon. Check out digitalrev, just pop it into google.
For reference the 1.8g is £150 and the 1.8d is £85.
It is a big difference, it just depends how much you want AF.
