Wideband meters/guages/datalogging

I'm in the market for a wideband set-up for my drag car, I've looked at the following deals and each have pro's and con's:
FAST
AEM
Innovate
Eugo
and a few others

What are you guys using and what do you like or don't like about it?

Thanks,
Tom

I have the Innovate LM-1 with RPM kit. A forum sponsor got it to me for a killer price and it works great until I foul out the sensor with leaded fuel. It lasted maybe 5 tanks.

RPM kit allows you to log RPM vs. Air/Fuel so you can see where the tuning needs to be done. AND the RPM kit has 4 or 5 other inputs for 5v sensors. You can log other stuff like boost, fuel, oil pressure, temp sensors of all kinds, g-force I think, etc.

I figured the software out so it can't be too complicated. I don't run mine in real with a laptop in the car, I am just able to watch the A/F readout in the car and the rest I upload to my computer when I get home. Everytime you start and stop recording, it logs a new file. VEry simple operation.

Daytona sensors wego 4 does everything I want it to do and matches any dyno I have ever been to. Easy to move, internal datalogging, free air calibration. Makes tables for you against rpm and map or tps, which makes fuel injection wot a snap.

I have the innovate LC-1 with a DB guage. I hate it.

Wiring it up was a PITA, theres like 10 wires to deal with, etc, it was just a hassle. If i were to do it again, I would get the AEM

I use the Tech edge/DIY unit that you build. Logging is done with a laptop or onboard the unit. I also log rpm and methanol injection at the same time, but it can do thermocouples and other analog inputs like FP. I want to upgrade to one with two O2 sensors though.

Got some experience yesterday with a zeitronix unit at the racetrack. Very nice piece of machinery. Only real gripe is it doesnt do internal datalogging. It was on a roots blown 555, the 3 bar map sensor and egt was some very nice information to have in hand.
