Slackman,I'm not sure what your allocated budget is, but available right on the US$500 price mark is the Panasonic RP-91N or RP-91K.
This has the audio section equivalent of the Technics DV-A10 DVD-A player, Panasonics MPEG decoder which is chroma defect free, and an excellent implementation of the Genesis chipset which doesn't exhibit the usual de-interlacing flaws of the Genesis chipset.
Sonically, the JVC doesn't compare at all to the Panasonic unit (I've heard them both in my system) and the Panasonic also has the ability to do re-mastering (aka upsampling) which you may or may not like. Further the Panasonic can output a 24bit/96KHz signal digitally and the JVC cannot.
