I really don't know whats out there but I would say to stick with a lighter race frame. You don't wan't a mini but there is no need for anything super burley either. What about the lower end DK's or S&M?

S&Ms are pretty expensive. get a Haro. they will last you a while if you dont do do any hardcore stuff.

Personnaly i would get one of the lower end DKs because now most of them come with 3 pc cranks and I got a General Lee last year and its been holding up pretty. But if you dont want one of those then i would go with the haro

Redlne is also a good choice for those with not alot of money to spend. DK does not give you much for $300. Haro is overrated IMHO.
