Those are all good brands of watercolor, if you're in the US Daniel Smith or M.Graham might be easier (and cheaper) to find and are also professional fine art quality.
As for your budget, that should be plenty to get you started but most pre-packaged sets aren't that great in terms of color selection. I'd recommend getting the Daniel Smith essentials set plus a tube of burnt sienna, that should be enough to get you started since these are the basic mixing colors most people use. You can pick up more colors open stock based on what you feel you need and what subjects you paint, but try to focus on learning how to mix before you overwhelm yourself with a huge collection of paints.
Since these are tube paint's you'll also need a palette. I like Mijello's 18 well Fusion palette, or you could get an empty watercolor tin and pans on amazon. Tube watercolor is generally formulated the same as pans and you can always rewet paint in your palette again, so don't worry about wasting it.
