Any brand you recognize that has a optical digital audio out (assuming you have a receiver that is compatible) and both a composite video and s-video out. You won't use both at the same time, but it gives you flexibility. It should also come with DTS. If you have or are planning to get an HDTV, get progressive scan, but with a regular tv it shouldn't matter. You should be able to pick something up in with these features for less than $150 easily, and probably for a fair bit less than $100. Unless you've got a high-end tv and/or stereo, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between this and a machine costing $1500. Other features to look for that will impact cost and value: multi-disc players, and the ability to play formats like mp3s.
