Are you paying to hunt on the property? If you are then the guide has no say in what you use IMO. There is nothing wrong with the other choices the guide gave you and if you want to hunt anything in North America except big bears those are the first four I'd recommend as well. That said you are talking about deer, and the .243 Win is more than capable of taking care of that.

Buy a rifle that you will like, so go to the local store and handle as many as you can. This might be a problem in Hawaii but I don't know. Spend what you are comfortable spending on the rifle. But with your budget depending on the cost of things over there, I'd save at least $500 for optics, bases and rings. I'm pretty sure you can get into a great rifle for around 1/2 the price you have in your budget.
