As you can see (from the Canon EOS 350D 8mp and Canon EOS 50D 15mp tests, There will not be a big difference how lenses perform on a D7000 and on a D200. Only when resolving power on the D200 is very low you will start to see a bigger impact with the higher res. D7000.
And that is only when you pixel peep, for printed images on a similar size there will be no difference at all.
So, don't worry in any way about choosing lenses for a 16mp D7000 or whatever, you can use the D200 tests to determine if a lens offers what you think is important. And you can even use the 350D and 50D tests where it is a 3rd party lens, the crop factor difference is very small.
