Reliable Drupal Theme Providers?

I am seeking recommendations (preferably with some experience) for the most reliable commercial Drupal theme providers. Drupal has both both a reputation for being difficult for non-coders to set-up and a lack (except here) of support. I'm seeking a news theme that can be used practically 'out-of-the-box' without design alterations, with support for later questions, and costing a maximum of $100. I've been considering the Endless News theme from Worthapost.com.

Links in the text of a node, that go to another type of node

Hello.

I have two types of nodes (Content Types): Books and People.

There is a field in the "book-type-node" that shows text and I would like to have in this text links to different people from the "people-type-nodes".
How could I do that?

Lastly I would like to show the information of the person in a new small window every time.

Is that possible??

Thanks in advance.

Before Starting Questions

Good day, I am Omegas7 and I've been thinking on using Drupal for my community site.
I would like to hear from you, experienced users:

* How -flexible- do you consider Drupal? Let's see...
.....* Can you create a block in the homepage, showing the "latest forum posts" for example?

* How -flexible- do you consider Drupal's forums?
.....* Like what moderation tools are provide? Move/Delete/Close/Open topic options available?
.....* Wide BBcode tags support, and custom ones as well?

Is Drupal viable or worth it?

The subject is deliberatly provacative and I hope it results in additional people reading the post as I really need to get into discussion with others looking at similar kinds of issues. If you do not need or are not interested to know how Drupal works interally and the implications for performance and speed of development, then you should probably not read further.

I am a relative Drupal newbie having trouble understanding whether or not Drupal is appropriate for the kind of web applications I develop and if so, whether one should try to build such applications using existing Drupal modules or one needs to build custom modules for most functions. Beyond that, I want to be confident that the basic architecture of Drupal is suitable to my needs.

I am a great believer in Application Frameworks and I like the idea of a community of developers leveraging each other's efforts or even working together on functionality that would benefit many. However, that only works when the community more or less agrees on what a good core framework should look like. If the kinds of applications the community members are trying to build vary too much from what others are trying to build, the ability to leverage one another's work might be minimal.

I am hoping someone can help me get into discussion with other members of the community that might be struggling with the same issues I am (or better yet have completing their analysis and may be able to either give me the confidence that Drupal is the way to go, give me guidance as to which parts of Drupal might be suitable or tell me Drupal is not suitable so I can move on). At the same time I would just be interested in discussion with others who are as interested in the design of application frameworks as they are in building a specific application on a framework.

Crystal Ball - Upgrading to D7

If I were to build a new site today is there anything I can do / not do that will make the upgrade to D7 easier / more efficient?
For example there is a post regarding pure fields: http://drupal.org/node/560324 which although I do not completely understand would be helpful to know today regarding updating at a future time.

For those of you who know Drupal well, what would you consider if you started a new site today with an outlook to upgrading to D7 in the near future?
