My OEM cd/radio does not play burned CDs or MP3s, so I'm wanting to upgrade to one that does.

I have narrowed it down to the following list:

Sony CDX-GT61oui, $169
Clarion DXZ 475 MP, $169
Alpine CDE-9881, $179
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X491, $179
Kenwood KDC-MP535u, $179
Alpine CDA-9883, $199
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X591, $199

I'm leaning toward one of the Kenwoods, because they have USB-in which would give me the option of using flash drives, and they have an ipod adapter available so I could use my ipod while driving.

However, both Clarion and Alpine have (last I knew) excellent reputations.  I think either can interface with an ipod, but I don't think they do USB.

Anyway, if the ipod/usb interface isn't an issue, which of these brands in this price range would you recommend?

Pioneer with a USB plug and auxillary plug for the iPod
My dad had a Pioneer head unit put in a '94 Ford Aerostar and had no problems.
