Help me pick an inexpensive android tablet

A few events have taken place recently, and I now feel I am ready to buy my first Android Tablet, somewhere in the 100-230 price range. Id like some helpful input from people with experience.

Not afraid of simple soldering/rooting/rom-ing, ect

I got a Best Buy gift card for Christmas, so I will most likely purchase there.
I figure I need to make a list for myself, I may as well post it here.

Android experience: Own myself a rooted Droid 3, setup a friends nook with CM7 on SD card. (Tried honeycomb, was not impressed with the market)

his device seems awesome once rooted, but the lack of SD card bothers me SO MUCH. Could I possibly modify the storage space somehow? Any thoughts?

I am falling asleep, so I am done for tonight. I would like to purchase from Best Buy due to the gift card, but if a sufficiently better deal showed up else-ware I would consider it.

Thanks for reading. Happy 2012!
