Anything in the Kala product line will be fine. I usually recommend the Kala thin-line Travel uke, but it is above your price point by a bit. They always sound good and are well set up. There are any number of good medium priced high-quality ukulele on the market these days.
Remember that you don't immediately need a pickup or a cutaway, or a lot of bling. Plainer ukes often have better wood and workmanship for the same price point. The cost of that bling has to come from somewhere.
Low G is simply a string change - I have converted most of mine that came with high G strings (although I kept one high G as-is). Worst case you may have to widen the nut slot for that fourth string a bit, but usually not.
