I have a bushnell right now! but I am looking to get a upgrade one! Walmart and Canadian tire are selling them and all 3 are going for over 200 dollars.

I have a Bushnell and am very pleased with it. Mine connects to my computer and I simply input the object I want to view, then the telescope aligns itself for me to see the object.

It those are the only three brands the store carries, I would buy elsewhere. Tasco and Bushnell hardly sell a decent telescope between them. Celestron makes some good telescopes, but they also make some cheap junk to sell in discount stores, which is probably what your local store is carrying. You will get a much better telescope if you deal with a real astronomy store, even though that means ordering online for most of us. Try http://www.telescope.com/ or http://www.firsttelescope.com/ for a good selection of beginner's telescopes.

Of the three; Celeston is clearly your best bet.
