For something completely different that fills a role Bard cannot, from your list of given options and budget I would go with cleric for the following reasons
1) Bard can't really heal, their songs help over a long time but no class really heals like a cleric can - with the exception of a torpor shaman but that is endgame and expensive. It's nice having access to a healer, why not have a healer that can rez?
2) People love clerics, easy to get groups and cheap deals or free hand me down wisdom gear
3) Much easier gameplay than Bard. Sit down watch everybody else do stuff. Heal them from time to time, gets easier and easier at higher levels with complete healing and beefier tanks
