Default Suggestions on h/u.

I searched, but didnt really find a good answer.
Anyway, my monsoon crapped out on me, and I figure Ill replace it with a somewhat better aftermarket h/u. And I read the info on the steering wheel controls so Im set there.
Now Im just going for a slightly better replacement, I dont need to have a top dollar setup. I would like to keep the stock speakers, for now atleast. So whats the simplest route to take for just putting in a head unit?
Thanks alot, and suggestions are welcome on what to get (Im thinking alpine).

Following models in Alpine, from decent to great :

CDA-9845
CDA-9847
CDA-9851
CDA-9853
CDA-9855

My preference - CDA-9853 or CDA-9851 [if you don't care about Glide-Touch, i-personalize, and Media Xpander (MX) ]

What I just bought though - Alpine IVA-D310 .. But the 9853 is an excellent unit!!.. Looks AND features !!

Oh, and the other HUs worth considering is the Eclipse.. The thing I liked about them was their 5 and 9V preouts!!
