Hey man! Profet 3.3 (or 5.2, if you want more power) is a pretty decent bit of kit, gives off a really nice sound and has plenty of volume. The 3.3 matched with a WCA211 cab is also excellent if you wanna save a bit of space, as it has enough power for small gigs and won't take up too much space in the back of your car.
I did, however, recently replace mine with a Marshall 450h, which is also awesome and has dual channels to give more tonal variety.

I used the Hartke and Behringer.. Hartke has a nice sound nice versatility but IMO colors your sound a bit too much.. Also pretty nice and loud, with nice punch. As for the Behringer, I played it for one night only so I can't give any competent opinions..

Of the amps you've listed I would not hesitate to recommend the Warwick Pro FET 3.3 or 5.2 hands down.
:d
I know this is a Warwick forum, and that's probably the answer you'd expect, but they really are great heads, and well worth a look...

Among the amps listed, I have only tried a Profet 5.2 which I Bought last weak. And I must say that the amp offers a lot for the price (I paid 449€ for mine). The thing has some nice tones hidden in it and it is very loud.
I play in a metal band with two heavily distorted downtuned guitarists and a drummer who simply loves using that double-bass.
A week ago I plugged my Thumb BO into a Profet 5.2 that went to WCA 411 8 Ohm. I set the gain at 5/10 cut some bas and treble, and gave the mids a slight boost, after that i set the master at 2/10.
After just one song one of the guitarists asked me if I could turn down just a little, because all he can hear is my bass.

It's worth remembering as has been said on here before by a few people that Warwick Basses are tested with Warwick Amps.
Of course everyones tone is a matter of personal judgement nothing more but the Warwick will give you a great sound from the get go.

I use my Rickenbacker thru a Profet 3.3 and 211 cab and it sings nicely.
