Rep Power: 0 Well, I can't comment on any of the 3 decks...I have the Pioneer 6400 (which I love).
As far as install kits, I went with the Scosche. It's okay, but you may have heard some negatives about the kit "bowing" under the head unit. Unfortunately, mine suffers from that issue. It seemed a good fit when I installed it, but the bowing started a couple of weeks after.
I've heard good things about the kit available from Best Buy..."American" something, I think...

Rep Power: 0 My biggest concern would be what one can I see in the daylight.
Our cars are horrible for viewing. The glare of the sun w/ the angle that the decks are at is a bastard.
Do a little search on it to see what decks everyone recommends.
I personally swapped to a Pioneer OEL display .... no more problems.

I dont have any problem with being able to view my POS Pioneer DEH-1400 headunit.
I got the Best Buy install kit, it has had zero problems, fits tightly, no bowing. Cost me frickin $50 though.
