Personally, I would go for a tube integrated. In my experience, the overall musicality and enjoyment they will provide will be head and shoulders above any solid state or hybrid, in addition to being quite reliable and headache free.
Given your price range is $750, I suggest you look into Chinese companies such as Cayin, Consonance, Jolida, and Prima Luna. The Rogue Cronus is another to consider, but a few hundred more than you've stated your goal being.
