Verdict
Pick the D3100 if you want twice the resolution, Full-HD video, and a lower price—its 2010 sensor and live-view make it the more versatile choice. The D100 stays the better option only if you specifically need the slightly sturdier build of an older prosumer body and are willing to pay a small premium for it.
