I'm still shooting with an old Canon 5D classic (this is actually my 2nd one). I've had a Rebel XT and 40D as well (both APS-C sensors), but nothing produces pictures quite like the full frame bodies, IMO. I'm also a fan of Canon's L series lenses, having owned and/or used a 24-70mm f/2.8L original and II, 135mm f/2L, 70-200mm f/2.8L & f/4L both IS and non-IS, 100-400mm L, 50mm f/1.2L. All made great pictures, but they made them on whatever body I put them on.

If it were my money, I'd look at used bodies (doesn't really matter, as long as it's compatible with the lenses you want) on forums like fredmiranda, photography-on-the.net, etc. and then maybe a used pro level lens to pair with the body. You'll likely come out spending just about as much on great, used, prosumer level stuff as you would buying brand new consumer level stuff.
