I don't care about claims, or the brand name. I just want to make sure that when something explodes or a string is plucked on a bass guitar, it feels as close to accurate as possible (within my budget).

The feeling of 18Hz is an awesome thing
. Definitely don't short-change yourself by settling for an under-spec'd sub.
I can understand your predicament...wanting to get the most for your money. In that respect, I'd say but the largest, most powerful sub that your budget and sense of aesthetics can afford then take the time to place it correctly in your room.
The Velodyne products are great performers...but they trade size for expense. Because of thier small size, they're more complex and employ more expensive mechanisms (servos and EQs) to reach the output and frequency response that they specify. The HSU are much bigger, but less complex since they're able to use a larger enclosure to achive their desired output level and response...ergo they're less expensive (realtively speakeing).
In the end, it'll pretty much be a wash...the placement of the sub in your room and the treatments in your room will probably have a greater effect assuming the subs you're looking at are comparable in specs.
