I'm almost positive I saw this exact same question somewhere (maybe the bluray.com forum ed thread?) and Matt from ed suggested the a5-350.

most people love their eD subs, but i have heard of a couple people having issues with an A2-300 having trouble with certain scenes like the Hulk sonic gun scene, for example. Thoughts?

For me it would come down to whether your room is "easy" or "difficult" for bass. i.e., do you have nulls, peaks, dead spots, etc? If you have an "easy" room, I'd get one big sub. If it's a "difficult" room, dual subs would help you even out the response.

What about any other subs in the $600-$800 range? Svs? Dual emotiva's? Klipsch rw 12d's?

Well, it's important. Spending hundreds and maybe even over a grand to have a sub make weird noises during certain movies sucks imo. Again, I know every sub can't slam at every level, but letting me hear it strain really ticks me off.

It's a problem that you're going to run into at this price point. You're asking a sub to do something that it can't do, so you're bound to run into problems.
Quick Googling looks like it was one test (posted on a bunch of forums) that the person had problems with their A2-300 on that one scene... Personally I wouldn't let that sway my decision. Although with my sub (Outlaw LFM-1+, close relative of the Hsu VTF 2 and 3 family) generally when it comes to something it can't handle, I just don't get any sound at all...no bottoming out or port noise.

Don't all ported subs have a High pass filter to keep them from clipping
