Stage Custom is a nice set. For the low price it is definitely the best out of the related sets (Pearl Forum, Ludwig 5 Piece...etc). And if I were you I would go with a DW set. Everything that company makes is ****ing great. I have gotten all my equipment from them for years, and it sounds great/does not break.
Another thing I would consider is just upgrading your set. You would be surprised how much better a kit can sound when the better drum heads are put on, tuned to perfection, and with some added cymbals/drums. I say this because the stage custom Snare/Toms are actually pretty good quality and will sound good for a long time. Keep them and all your cymbals (moving them around to fit new ones) and get a new Hi-Hat and new Single/Double bass.
I did that with my first set (Pearl Forum) and it lasted me 8 years because I upgraded it so much. The result being I had a very decent kit for ALOT less the money than a new one would run me. Costs me 600$ new, spent 300$ on extra stuff, and then sold it for 600$ 8 years later.
