I've worked with the Pag and Frezzi systems and prefer the Frezzi. But the Pag will get the job done and you can't beat 400 bucks for a whole package.

does the lighting system power itself through the camera?
'n also, any specific models other than the ones listed on evs i should look into?

Neither of those are powered thru the cam battery (which is probably a good thing, given the power requirements of both).
The Pag and the Frezzi are the only two that I'm familiar with, too. I bought the Pag, and am satisfied with it, but having seen the Frezzi after I got the Pag, I probably would go with the Frezzi if I was buying it today.

Check out the Smith-Victor SV-840 lighting kit. The kit includes everything you need to shoot using the battery that's included or from standard 120v wall voltage. It comes with a bulb for dc/battery work only. You have to buy an ac bulb separately. The light has four "barn doors" that let you control where the light goes and a 5600k dichronic filter which lets you use the light outside in natural light without messing up the white balance.
I got mine from B&H Photo for well under $200. That includes the light, the battery which comes in a shoulder bag, a charger, the filter, the 100 watt dc bulb, and all the cables you need for both battery and wall current power.
It's a great light for clubs, but you'll probably need a lower wattage lamp as the 100w bulb is very bright and will only run for about 30 minutes with the battery. You'll need a better light if you want to film a movie, but just for throwing some light it's a good deal.
