Well if you're looking for photo specific quality then I can tell you that HP is still the king of the hill. Almost every photography service I've seen that offers "quick print" service has HP printers.
Oddly though, every one I've seen in the last 3 or so years is an all-in-one type printer. For the price range you're looking at the HP C301a and C410a are the ones.
I always had HP printers until recently. The last ones had shit for longevity with color cartridges and they were on the expensive side to replace. Henceforth I switched to Canon. You are evidently looking for much better photo print quality than I am.
Go with the HP. The only other one I can find that might do what you want is from Epson and it's made specifically with photo printing in mind. Epson PM225 Picture Mate.
All the HPs are inkjet type and I'm pretty sure the Epson is too.
