The Collings D2HA would definitely be the guitar I'd choose. I have a friend who plays a Bourgeois Vintage D. It is a great guitar, but all of the other Bourgeios guitars I've played (I played 10 of them recently shopping for my new guitar) weren't even in the ballpark of most of the Collings I've played save 1 other. So there are some great Bourgeois Vintage D's out there, but I didn't find one in my shopping.
Although the Collings D2HA would be my choice, the Santa Cruz D or DPW would have probably been my second choice. They also seemed to be more consistant than Bourgeois. Also check out Huss & Dalton. We played several really good ones at Artisan Guitars in Franklin, TN. The H&D's they had were also better than the Bourgeois that they had.
