The Prostaff is a step down from the others in that group and I wasn't overly impressed by the Redfield and I'm not fond of Burris customer service. The Nikon equivalent to the Burris and Weaver on your list is their sweet little Buckmaster. In your price range I would look at a Weaver V10 2-10x38 but if you can afford $240 I'd invest in a Weaver Grand Slam 3-10x40 which is a nice step up from everything on your list.
This ratings list may be of some help. http://www.chuckhawks.com/recommended_riflescopes.htm

+1 for Redfield Revolution. I mounted a 3-9x with 50 mm primary (old eyes, but better light gathering) on my 30-06 Savage Weather Warrior. It took some doing to get a scope fitted to the looong action, but a short receiver Picatinny rail and rings got the eye relief where it was needed. I got the Accurange reticle.

I still think the Diamondback is the class of the field here. The extra 20% field of view over the others sealed it for me. At 3X, the Vortex has the same FOV as most 2X scopes. More FOV makes getting on target so much faster and easier. And here's another ranking list for what it's worth: pe-scale-discussion-thread-2009_topic16515_page1.html

Take a look at the Weaver K4 & the K6. Great fixed power scopes. Very tough and dependable scopes. Non-adjustable = fewer parts = more dependable
