James
t the price point your shopping there is no significant quality difrence 
between brands
buy what you need, don't worry about expanding, everything is expandable
you can easily add a power amp to a powered mixer set-up

I have had excellent return on my expense from behringer gear
its low cost and it works, its reliable as anything in its price range
