Which one?

Ok so I'll be getting my new HU soon and I've narrowed it to 3 possibilities. I'm looking for opinions good and bad from anyone who has experience with them.
1. JVC KW AVX830 (so far my #1 has removeable faceplate)
2. Pioneer AVH P4200
3. Clarion VX400
I don't need navi since I have a Tom Tom, but I want something that works good with my iPod touch that I can listen to the music from and watch the vids off it.
Any help is appreciated

can't go wrong with pioneer. i bought the recommended pioneer head unit from crutchfield. it acts a little funky sometimes but besides that it boosted the output on my stock speakers 10x.

Funky how?
The reason the JVC is on the top is because of the removeable faceplate, and it is a nice clean looking unit. So far I haven't heard anything too bad about any of them, so it's a tough decision.
