Default Ballast choices - what would you do?

Looking for a couple of 175W electronics. Three choices:

1. Icecap ($187 at J&L) - most expensive, but proven, high quality and great customer service. Plus they're still a viable company unlike . . .

2. PFO ($149 at J&L) - being discounted because of their legal troubles. Probably no warranty but I've never had any issues with their products - electronic ballasts are solid state in any event so there's a lot less to go wrong.

3. Vertex ($124 at J&L) - cheapest and an unknown quantity. I really wish Sanjay would have gotten around to testing these ballasts by now. At least they have a 3-year warranty.

Which one would you buy?
