Tom, An easy rule of thumb is: if you do not do intensive video work, you can make do with PPC. Which is obviously not your case. Go Intel, my friend, and see those rendering times come down A LOT.
As far as I can see, a used Core 2 Duo iMac won't cost much more than a tricked out G5, and it would be a much better choice. A used Mac Pro would definitely be much more up your alley. Of course it'll be pricier, but think of all the time and aggravation (not to mention electricity) you will save in the long run by buying now the highest end machine you can afford. And of course, like Bruce says, everything that works in Leopard tends to just work in Snow Leopard. The only real exception I have ever seen is DVD2One, which had faithfully worked for me since Tiger through Snow Leopard, but was broken by the recent 10.6.5 upgrade. (I'm sure it will be patched at some point, though.)
