Kenwood DPX501 or JVC XG700

I need help on choosing one and what I will need to install it I have the infamous Bose system in a 4th gen and im going through the second HU and I dont want too see another Bose HU for as long as I own this car. I dont like the look of aftermarket Single Din HUs I wanted to either stay stock or go for a OEM looking in-dash LCD with NAV but that cost to much at the moment so i have to compromise.

Reason I put the JVC up here is because its has more features and is cheaper than the Kenwood but I dont hear much of anything about JVC car audio so im wondering does anyone have experience with JVC? Good? Bad? or should I just forger about them

The Kenwood that im looking at is a older model the new DPX502 is out of my price range so I'll settle for the 501 but another think im concerned about with the 501 is its USB compatibility I dont have an IPod, I hate IPods to be honest I have a Creative Zen Vision M: 30GB in my opinion better but if there is anyone else out there that hates their IPod look into Creative, so im wondering will my MP3 player work through the Kenwoods USB

and lastly what will I need to hook it up to the stock bose speakers if some one can just show me what I will need to buy as far as adapters and such go Thanks
