Answers:
For your purposes I would go with the Vostro, it is basicly an Inspiron without the frills. It is more of a personal unit with a built in webcam. The D630 is more of a pure business computer.
Either is fine, get the cheaper one. But you did not mention what games you want to play or what graphics card that comes with the laptops. Try to get the 8400 nvidia card in either of those if you plan to play games.
I may be mistaken, but I think that all Latitudes come with a free 3-yr warranty (which bought for the Inspiron costs $300+).

And if it makes a difference to you, you can buy a port replicator for the Latitude in the future.
