Best amp for <$200

Hidey-ho forum dudes...1st post, I've been a lurker though. Anyways I'm looking to get an amp and some 12's soon, and was looking on Ebay to see what was out there. Here are my options:

Autotek Super Sport 750W RMS 2ch (@12V!!!)

MA Audio HK897 800W RMS

Hifonics ZX7500 800W RMS

Hifonics BX1200D 1000W+RMS, 1ohm stable too

Profile AP2000 "1000W RMS", prob. 700-800ish

There's also a Kicker KX500.2 I think, 500W RMS, but is that severely underrated? I feel like it could do a lot more. I don't really know brands too well, but from what I do know the Autotek and MA Audio are prob. my best bets, although I have experience with Hifonics' amps too. What do you think I should get, and what would be some good subs to match? I want some Infinity 1232W's but the RMS on them is too low; their specs say they have 100+dB sensitivity in a ported box though. Anyways lemme know what you think...my budget will prob. be like ~$400+ the box and any associated work for it.

out of yer list, the best option would be the hifonics 1200d... if i were looking at autotek amps.. i would stay away from the ss (but everything else is great.. especially the mx and sx)... most sx autoteks are 1 ohm stable and chrome with golden highlights.. very cool looking amps

so i would say the hifonics d class amp for running subs
