Easy - Samsung is the one to go for. It`s the only one of those you mention that I know is good quality, whereas brands like Matsui, Bush, Alba and Proline tend to set off my crapness alarm whenever I come across them.

Or you could consider the Cyberhome 512 from richer sounds for £120. You will need access to a CD Writer to apply the multiregion and macrovison hack - its a doddle. I remember it getting a pretty good write up in a Hifi/DVD mag a few months back. Dont know what the DVD purists on this site think of it though... Richer do a pretty good 3 yr warranty for £20 - if you are interested in that sort of thing - money back if no claims made.
