Well I want to finally start trying spinning on my own, and was looking at these.

I'll give you my opinion
if you get any turntables apart from technics 1200s you will end up selling them and buying technics 1200s eventually
this is a certainty
you will want the best decks and you will want what all the clubs/raves etc. have
So what I did was buy used (but decent) turntables and then sell them at the same price they cost me when they started holding me back (I actually made profit on the sale)
I say, get some used decks so that when you upgrade you won't be losing money
and obviously you can get better decks used for your money
I'd go with used TT200s, the Gemini PT series (PT-1000, PT-2000, PT-2400) or Stanton Str8-80s or higher (although the Stantons aren't as good IMO)
if you absolutely wanna buy new, out of the choices you posted the TT200 is the only deck you should consider.
DO NOT get the battle packs, they all suck.
last thing: it doesn't really matter what deck you have when you start because you can learn to beatmatch on ANY turntable...you just won't be able to hold the beatmatch as long if the turntables aren't as good
and learning might take more time
but it teaches you to correct the pitch and watch the pitch while doing everything else
I had the shittiest belt-drive decks when I started and that taught me alot
good luck...:)
