Just to add, the 040 FPU is 4-12 times quicker than a separate 68882 as used on a 68030.
If you use FPU required software, it's a big difference. Although not all 040s have the FPU built in.
The only advantage the 030 has is compatibility. Some of the older software just will not work on an 040. For instance, Amix. So do a careful check of the software you want to use before deciding on what hardware you want to run it on.
Unless you have very large RAM requirements (complex DTP designs or 3D scenes) you will be unlikely to find 32MB much of a limit. Although technically you can never have too much RAM...
