Similar to the post I put in the 'under £200' thread.
I would go for a Solitaire without a doubt, always produces good performing bats - that are completely handmade in the UK and he does everything himself there. Pressing, handling, shaping, finishing - you name it and his after sales care is fantastic. I've just got back from there myself after getting a bat refurbished and it's looking fantastic.
You can get one of his bats for £125 brand new which will be a Grade 1 or 2, or if you can stretch to £150 he'll be able to sort you out something special in terms of grain structure on the bat.
