prices are pretty steady across the board. usually the cheapest way to get it is an auction online, such as ebay - the reason has to do with buying in bulk, or theft sometimes, but quite often, they are just items that are no longer wanted.
be leery of a system that is used - it is hard to tell if a system that is so focused on the touch screen is any good from mere pictures posted on the internet - buying new is the safest way to go, although it's also the more expensive way.
if you do opt to buy a used system, i advise you to not buy it online - many gamestores offer warrenties that are actually worth more than the systems sometimes. you will also be able to see what you are getting.

the difference between the DS and the DS Lite.
the DS uses the same charger as the GBA. the DSL has a different connector. both of them play the same exact games - gameboy advance games. nothing older (no gameboy color, no gameboy)
the DS, when folded, is bigger and heavier than the DSL. it's easier to put a DSL in your pocket. but i don't put systems in my pocket... what if something happened?
the DS stylus is smaller, and the DSL's larger stylus is easier to hold
the DSL has the start/select buttons in a much better place, where as the DS had them in places that anyone who's played nintendo systems thinks is weird. the power button is in a better place too
the DSL has a mic in the center, the DS has the mic on the bottom left
the screen for the DSL can be made a little brighter than the DS. it also has four or five brightness settings.
the DS comes in various colors - silver (original), black, pearl, ice and pink, and the DSL comes in pearl (original), black, and coral (pink).
the outside casing of the DS is nice and solid. the outside casing for the DSL feels like oily plastic

The Nintendo DS lite is more sleek designed and more powerful than the original DS. Also compared to the iPod and the iPod Nano. The iPod Nano is more small than the normal iPod, yet it holds more music.
