In all honesty I think your best bet is to look on craigs list, are see if there is a local aquarium club by you. Generally you can find really good deals. I have about 10 tanks right now and of all of them I have only actually paid for 2 10's and 1 of my 55g's Sometimes you can find people moving that don't have the time to get rid of them, and will sell them for cheap, or even give them away if you will just come get them.
If you cant find one or craigslist or whatever, Id say the Petco deal is your best bet, just match a hood/light fixture to it.
Im not big on starter kits cause you get what they give you, I prefer to pick the parts myself.
