Innovate seem the standard choice on here, however I've heard people have had issues with reliability, you will also have to pay extra for a gauge if you want one.
I run the aem analog uego wideband with gauge. It's ok, seems quite quick to react but if you dont let the gauge zero itself properly before starting up it gives funny readings.

i have the innovate and seems ok, gives a nice clear readout, prefer digital to analogue too as you get better accuracy imo - not that i look at it much whilst im ragging the tits off it though!!

Aye i was unsure about digital or analog, i find the analog you can just glance at, plus i like seeing the needle whizz round

I got mine from a eBay store, was the cheapest place I could find with free next day delivery.
They stock the inovate system and a few others iirc. The name escapes me though, will look it up when I get in.

cheapest I've seen the lc1 go for James with digital gauge was £140 delivered from a uk based company can get it cheaper from usa well did but since exchange rates gone crap ain't worth the time

I have an LC1 and since about a week after fitting it's never read properly, doesn't seem to want to calibrate any more. I'm interested to hear other more reliable options

innovate are ok - bit tempermental but easily user recalibrated. we use innovate data loggers wired into our dyno for AFR.
AEM are ok.
would highly recommend the VEMS gauge for AFR.
