I have a Sony Xplod ES CDX-C7050X in my F-150. If you ask me for the money ($199) you couldn't ask for a better deck. I have had absolutely no problems with it.
It has 3 sets of 4v pre-outs, cd text, disc&station naming, it plays CD-Rs, has a multi color display, flip down detachable face, hi-pass and lo-pass filters built in, wireless remote, plus a pretty stout internal amp. The F-150 also has 4 6x8s in it, and that deck made the factory speakers sound A LOT louder and clearer.
I'm not trying to get everyone to run out and buy a Sony, but I can tell you from experience that mine works very well, and IMHO for the money, it can't be beat.
