I'd go with the Blaupunkt. You will not find a better fm tuner anywhere.

Of those listed, either Pioneer or Blaupunkt would work good. Stay away from Jensen.

Of those choices, any except the Jensen. Although 10 people will give you 9 different answers, any quality deck will provide satisfactory performance and reliability. Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Clarion, Eclipse, etc. All good stuff.

Eclipse makes real good ones, they have the CD secruity feature and they are almost skip proff when driving on rough roads. Just my 2cents.

I have a Premier DEH520 and I love it. My only complaint is that it doesn't play the really scratched up cd's as well as an eclipse, but sound quality is excellent and it has a lot of options and ways you can tweak the sound.

Blaupunkt or Pioneer out of those choices, I personally have a Clarion and love it, but either of those two would be good....
