>My priorities are the headset being future-proof
Not an option, future headset are likely to be announced this year or released later this year/beginning of next year...
> and not a complete hunk of crap - but would prefer to not break the bank shelling out yet more cash after the hefty investment into the video card
... but current headsets are pretty good at what they do. 
get a quest 2 or a used pcvr headset if you want to go for a cheaper option, you'll still have a blast anyway
If you want to think a bit more, try to think about what you'd want the most out of an headset and it'll be easier for us to guide you
