Elegant Themes, Studio Press, or Woo Themes?

If you choose to do a Wordpress theme then elegant themes is the better looking choice but studio press & woo themes use responsive design to show up on all devices at once.
However, you should really look at getting a customized design so that you stand out from the crowd. When you take out the non-industry specific themes that they offer, you start to only pick from a dozen. Next, I can visit a website and tell it is a Wordpress site within a second of landing there.
Getting a customized or even semi-customized website these days is not too much more, genrally in the $350-$1000 range. You can also find website providers that offer websites within your vertical that know the industry and have done a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

I like themeforest.net. Not much of a fan of the others you mentioned, but many are. I've also worked with headway a bit and like it for some things, but most of the "do it yourself" theme builders leave much for the average user to desire.

I have to agree with Josh - themeforest.net is awesome. Many themes are of the same quality as studiopress, woothemes, etc or even better.
ThemeForest.net is comprised of a community of smaller, independent designers - so there is a very large selection of designs available, and prices are also quite reasonable.
I have used StudioPress and WooThemes over the years and they typically have nice themes as well. If you have some time, browse all 3 until you find one that just reaches out and slaps you
Also, when looking for themes, make sure to pay attention to whether or not they are "mobile friendly". Many of them nowadays utilize responsive design, but there are still a lot out there that aren't very mobile friendly at all.

Depends on who is going to tinker with it. If you are going to hire someone to do it, I feel like StudioPress offers the best themes with the most flexibility.

I think I would be the tinkerer to start with... not sure where it may go from there.
