What Disc Golf Basket Should I Buy?

I'm in the market for a disc golf basket for some putting practice, and recreational playing in the field behind my house. I'd be willing to spend up to about $200, but would obviously love to spend less.

I have several baskets I am considering:

DB-5 Portable Target - $199
DISCatcher Sport Recreational Target -$179
In Step Portable Target $109
M-14 Portable Target - $139
Mach Lite Portable Target - Full Size -$125

I'm looking for something that is of good quality and has chains that will actually catch...without me having to add additional chains.

So who has experience with any of these baskets....I would really appreciate your recommendations!

All the Best!!

I have the DB5, Discatcher Sport, and two M-14s. I modified the M-14s (now M-21s). All acquired between 2003 and 2005. The DB5 is the heavy duty one for sure. DB5 is galvanized. The sport, and M-14s have zinc coating. They all stay outside all year in Hot and Humid Orlando, FL. A little rust on the sport and M14s. No rust on DB5. They all catch pretty well.

I have to admit I am a DGA fan, and also have portable Mach 3 and Chainstar. These are the best in my opinion, along with the Mach 5. However a little expensive. I dont think they will ever rust.
