You have lots of decisions to make. A used Larrivee is a great choice - true luthier made, solid wood.

If you want new, I would look at the Hohner Essential series (see new review in Acoustic Guitar mag) under 3

Aria makes some really nice gits for the 3 range.

Art & Lutherie's are a great choice for value in the low end too.

Seagull's are nicer looking and great for a bit more.

Recording King and Blueridge have a range of good gits in the mid to higher part of your range.
