To be frank, none of them. I'd suggest waiting 'til the budget is a bit fatter and look for something a little more solid; Alien Bees, Opus, or similar with modeling lights and easily replaceable flash tubes. As well, 100 - 160 WS is pretty much at the bottom end of the power spectrum. I would look for at least 200 watts plus.

the flashpoint 320, $140 one, has a modeling light.... i can always move up to more powerful stuff later,, mostly my shots will be in doors with some natural light,.... it should be ok... at least i can buy, try it out and return.

I agree I thought I was getting a great deal when I bought my smith victor kit. I MEAN 3 MONO LIGHTS FOR $300?!? But they just aren't worth a dime. build quality is that of garbage there actually is hot glue coming out from the seams and they are just a pain to work with. Id recommend saving up. I wish thats what id done.

you could just buy speed lights your D90 can wirelessly control them.
