Everything I've read says the E410 is the better one. Less noise at higher ISO, Live View, better AF. Personally I'd get a Canon 450D, but that is a little under double what you're paying.

The E410 definitely. It handles noise far better than the older (two years) E500. A good choice though Olympus, the Four Thirds lens lineup is large and legendary, there are lots of great lenses out there. If I had the money just laying around (money never gets a chance to with me), I would invest in a FourThirds DSLR myself; they're so small for which reason their lenses have very good corner-to-corner sharpness.
And those are two very decent lenses that the E410 setup comes with. The 14-42mm is definitely a better lens than the 14-45mm.
Down the road you should look to get a prime and/or a macro lens. This should be helpful in deciding on those:

It's very similar in terms of performance to the E410. But, unlike the E410, it has in-body image stabilization, a higher resolution LCD and more manual controls. I think that the IS alone makes it worth it over the E410.

It's certainly a good camera. Make sure that the reseller you're getting it from is reputable, there are a lot of bait 'n' switch camera resellers out there.

Heh, DSLRs are nice, but they don't automatically endow you with amazing photographic skillz, so you may have to wait until he gets the hang of it. Who's the older brother?

Good deal, Nikon just released a new 35mm DX AF-S prime lens, it's pretty nice, you should see about getting one down the road.
