One word of caution.  You cannot go back.  If your company acquires another,
or is acquired by another....  Best current practice is to only raise the
domain functional level if a feature is needed that is not supported under
2000.

As long as all your DC's are 2003, and you aren't going to add any 2000 
DC's, you can raise the functional level. The functional level only 
affects what OS can serve as a domain controller, it doesn't affect 
member servers.
