Depends on a number of things, I guess, but I'll say what I got and why, which you might find helpful.
I got the Kenwood KDC BT61U. Paired with Infinity reference speakers front and rear.
I believe it has now been replaced by a newer model KDC BT92SD which looks identical to me, but I assume has more features. (...Yes, it now has an SD card slot.) The old model should be available for a while and you might get it for less than 150 quid now.
Like you, quality rather than size of sound is important to me. I would say however that after 9 months of listening I am considering an underseat sub to fill out the sound a little as it can become harsh when cranked up, so a fuller sound a lower volumes would be my preference.
This has the major features I was after: bluetooth (i)phone integration; a REAR ipod connection so you can hide all the wires away, and the ipod in the glove box; a further rear stereo jack in, in case someone wants to throw a generic mp3 player at it; standard ISO connector which should fit the coupe assuming nobody has butchered it to put in an old pioneer or something.
It also looks sleek, and tart that I am, I quite like the fact that you can set the button illumination to match your dash strip (unless you drive a crono), and the screen illumination to match your instrument panel lighting.

I would highly recommend my setup.
Powerbass front components with tweeters, (any decent front speakers and tweeters would do) rear 6x9 genesis subs 1x4 channel amp for the fronts (1xoutput per speaker) 1 bass amp for the rear 6x9's. Alpine front headunit with iphone connector.
Sounds great and everything is hidden. Extra cost from a straight replacement, but well worth it.
