I have not heard the Basis so cannot comment on its sound - but I have heard others say that it is very very good. The Rega arm is well known to be a "best buy" in performace. I'm sure the two would make a great combo for $1600 or so.As to the VPI - before I went with the Hw-19 III/ SME 309 I would go with a TNT Jr/Rega combo. I've heard the TNT on a number of different occasions and have always been impressed. One advantage to VPI is their availability - they are relatively common and VPI's service is suppose to be quite good in the event of a problem.
I am like Werner in that I like the Gyrodec (I am somewhat biased as I own one)much better than the VPI III and a little better than the VPI IV. Not only does it sound great - it looks great. It will always get a comment out of your non-audiophile friends. The appropriate ooohs and ahhhhs from your audiophile friends will come after they've heard it.
Any of the options you've mentioned will sound great and the differences will really be splitting hairs (given all else being equal). Good Luck!
