Default What's a good tent for family camping?

I know next to nothing about teht manufacturers and don't want to pay more than I should for something made in PROC (pretty sure they're all made there). So anyone on here that's an avid camper with experience, I would value your advice.

Requirements:
-Tub floor style
-NO LEAKS!!!
-100+ sq ft (some 6 or any 8+ person tent)
-Aluminum poles
-$300 or less

Nice to haves:
-Screened in porch
-Standing room
-Sturdy in the wind
-15 min or less set-up time

This is for family/car camping, so I don't need it to be uber-light or anything. Also, don't even mention Coleman, Wenzel or similar Wal-Mart junk as those are just not the kind of quality I'm looking for. Tried those and am not going there again! Many thanks up front!

I would go to REI, in person or online. They make thier own brand that they warranty for life. I have been in the outdoor industy for over 10 years and never had a problem with their equipment.
