Default Zune HD or iTouch or What?

I am looking for a new MP3 player. I have around $200 and I figure I can get either a Zune HD 16GB, an iPod Touch 8GB, a Nano 16GB, or an iPod Classic 160GB.

Please post your opinions.

Here's what I'm looking for is a great music listening experience, and the ability to hold a fair amount of songs(I have 2000+) and be decent at watching videos.

note - Yes, I know its supposed to say iPod touch, not iTouch, but I was saving room.

If you don't need iTunes or the App Store, then the Zune HD should fit the bill nicely. I also suggest Cowon's O2, D2+, and S9, just get the capacity that fits your price point and there's little disappointment to be had (well, aside from the lack of wi-fi).

I think I'm gonna go with the Zune HD, because after I jailbreak an iPod, I waste sooooooo much time...
