Help me choose a second snare drum

OK, so I have a home studio with a small vintage Ludwig kit. (Full disclosure, I play a little drums but my main instrument is guitar). I have an Acrolite snare which is awesome for mid to high pitched tuning, but I'm looking for an alternative flavor, something I can tune lower, probably a 6.5 x 14 wood drum (but metal isn't out of the question). This is primarily for recording. Want that big fat *doosh* sound when I hit the center of the drum -- something that would work well for blues, New Orleans music, etc. The Acrolite does great rim shots but the hitting the center of the drum it's a bit soft. Ease of tuning, sensitivity and versatility are important, wood hoops might be cool. I only want to spend $250 tops, preferably less.



Here's the kind of stuff I've been looking at:

I live in a small town and so it's difficult to try stuff in person... and the local craigslist sucks. So, it's probably ebay. Any comments or experiences with any of these drums, (or similar) would be appreciated.



And if you can point me to any online drum classifieds or online drum shop that's cool too...



Thanks!
