Best Paradigm or other Sub to go with my setup?

What I currently have:

Fronts- 7se MkIII
Center- CC-370 v.2

I don't have a lot of money, so I can't buy everything all at once, and ok with buying good used equipment. My hope is to eventually get a 7.1 system with maybe a Denon or Yamaha reciever using ADP surrounds. Can I use 2 sets of ADP-170's for both the side and rear surrrounds?

I've looked on Ebay and Audiogon. I can't see myself spending more than maybe $750 for a sub. What Paradigm subs would go well with what I'm planning? Or should I consider other brands? I've seen SVS mentioned on another forum as a brand to consider.

1. YOU CERTAINLY USE THE ADPS FOR SIDE/REAR SURROUNDS. DEPENDING ON YOUR ROOM, YOU MAY BE JUST AS HAPPY WITH 5.1 AS 7.1.

2. I USE A PARADIGM PDR-10 (150W) SUB, WHICH I LIKE JUST FINE; AGAIN DEPENDING ON YOUR ROOM SIZE YOU MAY WANT TO GO TO A HIGHER POWERED MODEL.

3. SVS ALSO MAKES FINE SUBS, ALBEIT AT THE HIGH END OF YOUR BUDGET. I PERSONALLY TOUT HSU SUBS WHICH ARE FANTASTIC VALUES.

Save some money and stick with 5.1. There is so little 7.1 material (even with bluray). I have a 7.1 HT set up and almost always (95%) use the 5.1 codec unless there is a 7.1 soundtrack (RARELY!).
