After 50 years in this hobby business and have owned far more turntables than most on this site. My opinion is go with VPI, Sota or Rega. These offer a clear upgrade path when time and resources are available. The VPI and Sota are made in the U.S.A., while the Rega is a UK import. You can spend wisely or poorly. If you spend poorly the vinyl medium can burn you out very early indeed.
My preference is VPI and currently using a HW 19 MK IV, which at my age now is my bucket list turntable. Why do I recommend VPI. Very simply, customer service. They are there when you need them, they answer the phone, always helpful. Parts and service if and when needed just a [hone call away. The product itself from their entry level to their flagship has a build quality, that has few if any peers. From a sonic point of view, these tables play vinyl with a resolution that will astound you. In my opinion when it says VPI that pretty much says it all.
Sota as well makes a fine line of turntables, also made in the U.S. Superb quality and very finely built, excellent parts. However my only qualm with Sota I have found is that their customer service is not on par with VPI. Others may have a different view of their customer service, but my experience with them, while good, is lacking as compared to VPI. Nonetheless they produce very fine turntables, that deserve to be considered.
Rega is a UK import with excellent U.S. support. Parts and service is readily available, wide dealer base in the U.S. from their entry level turntable to their flagship the Rega's offer a level of performance not often found in todays analog offerings.
These audiophile turntables offer in my opinion the biggest bang for the buck. All have a clear upgrade path, have excellent customer service, parts are readily available, with staff that can help you if and when needed.
As far as the three you have listed, I find no enduring quality in any of those. Yes they will play records and if thats all you want then get one of them. If you want to experience analog as it can be heard, then choose any of the three I have menetion. Any of these brands are available here on the Audiogon website from dealers as well as private members and prices can be very friendly indeed from the membership.
As for dealers I use Larry at Hollywood Sound. I have known him for years and he is one of the most knowledgeable dealers in analog playback, that you will find. Although both Gene Rubin and Bill at Audiofeil are fabulous resources as well.
Ultimately the choice is yours - spend wisely
