haven't used any of those, but i can add that a good turntable/soundcard interface combination is what you'll need... and good quality needles.
he's propably going to spend hours recording and it's going to be very disapointing if the quality's poor.
if the pickup is shit you can't fix it with software. same goes for the soundcard (analog/digital conversion).
like mpfree said, any decent brand-name turntable will do... have a look at the entry-level gemini, stanton, vestax, etc. most are under $100.
i use this soundcard:

the a/d converters is very good for the price, $120. onboard soundcards are shit - no bass and very noisy.the lite version of sony soundforge is cool for recording: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com…
only $70. has built in audio restoration filters as well.record to wave @ 44/16 stereo, use the audio restoration filters if needed, normalise the volume and save to mp3.
that's less than $300.
