D3000 to D5300 = Considerable upgrade
D3000 to D7100 = Vast Upgrade
The D5300 has a smaller, lighter body. I would suggest holding both in your hands and playing with the controls to get a "feel" for which one you prefer.
For myself, I much prefer the feel of the D7100 to my D5100 as I have large hands. D7100 will definitely be my next body (if I stay with DX).
