Default I need u to help my father pick one....

So we got big sales going on here in Canada now and I finally convinced my father to get new home theater. The problem is we'r not sure which BD playyer to get to match his new speakers and receiver.
He's getting :
Denon AVR-4308CI Receiver http://www.usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3494.asp
Tannoy Arena Highline 500 Speakers http://www.tannoy-speakers.com/s.php?product=207
And he has Panasonic 58 Plasma he bought a year ago.

Now here comes the problem. Sony 350 or 550 ? or Panasonic 35 or 55 ? Or we can get Denon DVD-1800BD for around $400 (in canada it's cheap).

I'm sorry for such a wide range post but we'r clueless. Could someone post pros and cons and what u would suggest ? Money isn't really an issue, it's only around $100-200 difference between all the players.

Edit: Nevermind on Denon Player, it's 1.1 profile.

I also live in Canada

I've been doing some home work on highend players.I have found that most of the players are useing Panasonic parts.

Which would make me lean toward Panasonic.

That being said iam personally buying a Yamaha Player,Because i like what it offers Just for a Blu-ray player and because of my Reciever

In MY OPINION get The Panasonic 35 and know when buying this player (if you choose) your getting the best player out there for the money

With that combination of speakers and receiver I would go with either the Panasonic BD35 or Sony S350...either one of those players would do great..
