DX is the cheapiest of them all, then LX, then EX.
This varries from generation to generation, but for instance:
6th gen Accord
DX Crank windows, no moonroof, lost some painted body pieces
LX - Power everything, no mooroof, VTEC
EX - Moonroof, option of leather, power everything, etc.
EDIT: No such thing as a DX V6

Get the EX... if only for the disc brakes in the rear. The drums are terrible. Good luck stopping from 85 on the freeway in anything less then like 600 feet. Its awful, not to mention dangerous.

Get what you can afford there really isn't too much of a difference in stopping with disc in the rear opposed to drums. I personally have an EX and the reason why I chose the EX say over an LX is because of the alloy wheels, sunroof, side air bags, 6 disc in dash CD changer (01-02 models) and then the rear disc because cars look better with four wheel disc instead of disc/drum combo but the stopping distance is minimal between the two.

The distance difference may be minimal, but with upgraded discs or a big brake kit, its significantly improved. For the LX you have to swap out the rear arms before upgrading the brakes.... Its just an extra step, and an extra hassle. Just shell out a little bit more now, to save yourself a little bit more later...
But good point BONE, I really didn't specify exactly what I meant.
Plus you get a little better engine... kinda a big deal if you arent planning on doing a swap or turbo.
