Need help picking the best.

I am looking for a budget h/u for under $240. I've narrowed in on these three:

Pioneer FH-X700BT
Sony WX-GT90BT
Kenwood DPX500BT

Which one is the best option? I want something that offers great sound and reliability, plus features, and will offer me the best options to expand my system later on. All three have a 24bit DAC, Bluetooth, and USB which are features I want. Beyond that I don't really know which one is better than the other.

I had an Alpine a couple of years ago (which where great in the 80's), but the new one I had was a horrible piece of $#!+. Pioneer has never let me down, Sony made crap in the 90's, and I don't know much about Kenwood.

Please help.

I heard that JVC uses a cheap way of getting 4 volts.

Uses a cheap way?
JVC=Kenwood, it's the same company...
The JVC Arsenals are beasts...5v preouts. Idk if they make them anymore though. You can find BNIB older models.
