Default car stereo, help me out!

I want a new stereo but I know nothing about them. Just a deck, no amp or anything. What should I get? I want something that
-has bluetooth for my mp3 player
-also has an 1/8" aux input
-Sounds good
-something thats worthy of an amp and speaker upgrade in the future
-something thats not not a peice of **** yet doesnt break the bank
My budget is less than 200 bucks. I'm curious what the best bang for the buck would be. My research indicates that I could get this Sumas Media Car Stereo.What ya thinks about it? Whats the price breakdown between, low, mid, and high quality ****?

You might want to put this into the stereo and electronics section, you will probably get more responses.

I had an Alpine deck in my Tahoe. It didn't have bluetooth built in, but you could buy the adapter. It had a connector for iPods/iPhones which was located in the back, as well as a port for a USB drive. I could hook up to either my iphone or pop some mp3's on a thumb drive and play off of there. All of the controlling was done through the deck and not the actual iPod, which I liked.
