So the time has come for me to retire the age old receiver. I've been shopping around, and I don't quite know what denotes a 'quality' receiver.
I'm basically looking for something to power my 5.1 mix-and-match home theatre system that consists of four Precision Acoustics bookshelf speakers, a Bose VCS-10 center speaker, and a 10" Bose subwoofer.

I'm by no means an audiophile. I seek something somewhat entry-level, but can potentially last though to the next decade and is ~$300. I have zero knowledge on what brands have great internals, which brands are popular, etc.
I have no need for component inputs, but at least 3 HDMI ports are a must. Compatability with the iPhone 5 is also a plus.

Here's what I've been looking into (at Best Buy/Futureshop because I have a hookup

):

Denon AVR-1513

Onkyo TX-SR313

Pioneer VSX-523-K

Yamaha RXV373

Much help is appreciated!
