Best Wideband O2 sensor?
I am currently looking for a wideband o2 sensor. I need to know what would be my best choice for value, I don't want to spend a grand on one. Any information would be appreciated.

I returned the POS innovate to run an FJO and haven't had anymore issues. With the LC=1 you have to do free air calibrations and crap and after sitting over the winter last year I couldn't get it to work again. I have had 0 problems with my FJO.

the early model LC-1's were problematic (6 wire models). They should be avoided. The calibrations are not a big deal at all. They are there to improve the accuracy of the factory sensor calibration. Calibrations are used in OEM wideband applications (VW). You press a button (or flip a switch) for a few seconds and then you don't have to worry about it again for a long time. The wiring seems confusing at first but there are writeups on here.
If you plan to do any datalogging on a datalogit, stay away from the AEM, as it is problematic in that department.

The LM-2 seems like a pretty good deal, does it work in conjuction with datalogic? It would be nice because I could use it on my other cars "eagle tsi and camaro", would it be worth the extra 100 or so?

I've been using the LC-1 for about 7 years. I like it because you can tweek the output so you can match the digital reading and the analog reading to your engine management.
Two things I don't like about it is the form factor, and It needs sensor replacements too frequently. (Man I shouldn't have said that because my sensor will die tomorrow)
But really it's been more than a year since I replaced the one I have now.
As far as the form factor, Innovate has a digital gauge with a integral controller now (like the AEM), so that would take care of the form factor part.
To the question what's the difference between a LC-1 & LC-2, The LC-2 is the new version and as far as I know it replaced the LC-1
I think I'd try the NGK Powerdex AFX if I was in the market now though.

ahem.. at the risk of thread necro
the PLX AFR and DM6 touch screen system is now gen 4 and features lsu 4.9
and new features including health status
i use the gen2 plx afr2 ( lsu 4.2 ) in my daily user and it has been faultless
and it displays trend, warning flags and displays in my choice of petrol/diesel/lpg/methanol AFR or in lambda
one of the cheaper units out there,, with no issues with burning up the probes , and unique display and features
