I play in a church band and up until now we've had a PA for vocals and used separate back-line amps/cabinet/combos for instruments. Luckily, we've got a new PA system (which I'm helping to install this week) which will allow everyone to play through it, including me on electric bass. The budget didn't stretch to DI boxes (but it did for monitors, I'm glad to say!) so I've got to sort that out for myself.
I have an 'old style', unprogrammable Sansamp DI Box, which has been fine in other settings.
However, as I'll be able to sell-on my cheap and cheerful rig I leave in church I'll have some cash and GAS that I can use on upgrading my DI.
What I'd like if possible is a single box that can DI and includes a tuner. The ability to run in phantom power from the PA would be good, but I think most DI boxes will offer that. If it matters, I will be playing active and passive basses and sometimes with five strings.
I'm not really a user of effects, so that's not a great consideration.
Any tips anyone can give will be gratefully received.

The Peterson Stomp Classic Strobotuner might be just what you're looking for, have a see:

It's a strobe tuner and has an active DI and a mute button. Even has different "sweetener" eq settings you can use if you want, or just the sweet sound of your bass. In Active mode it will run on Phantom power. Sounds like it ticks all the boxes!

My preference for church is this:

Korg Pitchblack tuner
MXR M80 Bass DI gives some eq control etc or Budget Alternative would be Behringer GI100 (or DI100) - good solid DI despite saying behringer on it.
