Honestly, as long as the subwoofers you use are of good quality, it doesn't matter as much what brands and models you use. What matters more is their positions and low-pass slopes. The main thing is you shouldn't expect any single subwoofer to integrate well. It won't. If you fiddle with it enough you might get it to sound OK for one listener in one spot, but even then, it won't be nearly as good as using at least two flanking subs.

I suggest starting off with two flanking subs, setup as described in the links below. That will give good bass extension and will sound great. It will smooth the modal range down to about 80Hz, and this is sometimes all that is needed. If you find you still have a room mode below that point, add one or two subs placed further away. This is also discussed in the links below.
