what are some good widebands?

So I'm about to start rebuilding my engine and I want to get a wideband so that I can get my car tuned and so that I can watch my A/F as I drive.

mods planing on doing:

750 secondaries
SAFC
FD fuel pump
mild street port
3 inch exhuast
intake
and I plan on pushin 10 psi

What widebands are out there?how much do they cost? what do you prefer? I'm looking for a kit, sensor, controller, some way to monitor it acuratly while I drive and I'm not to worried about data logging.

Thanx in advance

I use an FJO dual sensor unit.
Its around $1200 to get it all set-up. I like it any of the other units I've seen... but the cost is typically prohibitive to the standard enthusiast.

The cheapest one I've seen is the $199 bosch sensor based Innovate motorsports one, which comes with the controller integrated in the sensor cable. You need to use a digital multimeter or your megasquirt tuning software to display the lambda. The megasquirt guys seem to use this sensor quite a bit. Considering they run megasquirts which are cheap as dirt, they can't spend more on their widebands than their ECU's, haha.

I heard the plx m250 was a great wideband. I have no personal experience with it or tuning a stand alone, but I will get one soon!

i like my zt-2 because i can datalog the boost curve and revs along with lambda and afr..... worth the money to me i spent about 530 after you buy the boost sensor.. the software is basic but it does the job...also it uses the cheap bosch / volkswagen wideband.. which cost around 50 bucks as oppsed to everyone elses 150+ so i can run it everyday and not be worried about wasting an exspensive sensor

I have the PLX m300 wideband. I LOVE IT.
Alough the display doesnt show well in direct sunlight. I have the gauge that goes with it. It reads great in direct light but is really bright at night.
It will also output to the Rtec 2.0 (when it is out )

I have the PLXr500 perfect unit and saves you the cost of buying a separate EGT gauge.
