The lens makes the image, the sensor (body) only records it.
There is quite a range of options resolution wise, currently 25 M Pixels is considered by many to be pretty well optimal. You can get greater resolution and less resolution from that point.
There is also the 'quality' of pixel, small DX sensors tend to experience greater noise and have a greater depth of focus than FX sensors of a similar pixel count, but the resolution can be somewhat worse. All depends how big you intend to print.
I think better pixels, rather than more of them (quality rather than quantity) is the best way to go.
Higher resolution means you need to be much more careful with your technique to get the best from the additional pixels.
You have some nice glass, suggest you upload to Flicker and paste in the URLs of some images in here so we can pass constructive comment. Shooting wide open with the f1.4's demands good technique, AF isn't ideal at that level, you are wasting half of your (slim) DoF in front of your subject..
