G&P - I like the variety of receivers available they're pretty kickass. The only other brand that I'd ever consider for a lower is PRIME.
VFC, CA, and KA are all solid companies as well.
@moz_boz: At the budget conscious side of things it will do but I'm a student as well and I saved up my money over time in order to get my hands on my rifle (I admit that slightly malnourishing myself was probably not a good idea but hey at least I didn't get the freshman 5). Also being Asian helps since you don't need to drink as much when going out, therefore more money for airsoft stuff
