I don't have any experience auditioning multiple subwoofers, but I can tell you that in my search for a new setup I narrowed down my search to these five companies before settling on dual PSA subwoofers. I spent many hours searching through AVS and Home theater shack forums. Hopefully someone with more experience can narrow down your choice for you.
Power Sound Audio
Rythmik
HSU
SVS
Reaction Audio.
This may has help as well

All the info above is very good. Depending on your taste and room size you may be able to find something in your original budget, but if you have a large or open area to fill and like accurate and agile bass, I think you might have to be nearer the $900 range. While not an owner myself, when you go to HSU, I think the jump to the VTF-15H will be impressive. An audition would be highly advisable, and saving on shipping a plus.
I started with a low end cylinder sub at SVS, and while adequate, just never put a big smile on my face. For something as high quality as the Arx speakers, I think you would appreciate the matching low end capability.

My room is a dedicated media room - 16x14x10.
I was zeroing on the following two:
HSU VTF-2 MK4
Rythmik LV12R
Thoughts??

Both excellent choices - you've done your home work. I'd lean to Rythmik for accuracy (music), and HSU for output (HT), but, only a test on data-bass could tell if that's true. Either way, be sure to do the sub crawl test to find the best placement in your room.

The HSU subs offer the ability to tweak the sound with port plugs and amp tuning which I think is a nice plus to have based on your needs and room. Personally I've been using a GoldenEar Forcefield 5 subwoofer for the past year and been very happy with it. It's a relatively compact subwoofer that can hold its own with both music and movies and has respectable output into the low 20s. I managed to get one for around $800. It's a sealed 12" sub with a large passive radiator on the bottom. (review)

If you take yourself too seriously, expect me to do the exact opposite
