Default best starter for the money

im looking for a begginer-intermediate heli, you know, something i can learn on but not need to immediately upgrade. i want to keep this cheap, since this is my first experience with helis and dont want to go overboard. unfortunately my budget is very small($150) but ive seen that it might be enough for what i need. ive read around and here is what i know

1) i want electric(for starter and $$ purposes)
2)stay away from Walkera stuff
3)E-sky seems to be reputable and good quality

i lack a little knowledge wit the true electric aspect, although i do have some experience with nitro R/C(i have a Cen AMgnum NX and a Traxxas T-maxx 2.5)

i know the higher the mah, the more power available, and Li-Po are supposedly superior.

any advice on
battery types?
starter models?
fixed or changable pitch(sorry, lack of vocab)

basically..BEST MODEL for 150( its possible to go higher, but not a whole lot more $$$)

thanks
