Picking a crankset: Omnium vs. Miche vs. Andel vs. Others

Hi everybody!

I'm doing some shopping for a new crankset to go on my Rush. I'd really appreciate some help deciding between a handful of sets or possibly finding a new one I haven't considered yet. I've done quite a bit of research on how a lot of the available track cranksets stack up on paper but I could really use some input from people with first hand experience.

My criteria is:
144 BCD
Silver preferred
<$200ish with good BB and 48T chainring

This left me with the following top contenders:
Sram Omniums (a little pricey but they've got a good reputation)
Miche Advanced (Needs a BB so it would also be a bit pricey)
Andel Deluxe (Meets all my criteria but I'm wondering how it would feel compared to some of the higher end stuff)
Affinity Track crankset (Their site is down so I couldn't get any info)

It will mainly be used for street riding and exercise. I ride fast and push hard but I don't have immediate plans of taking it to a track.
