Whoa, now that is a big question to answer. First off, I would check out beaconreviews.com for huge indepth reviews on beacons and comparisons.Personally I use a pulse. It just has a great set of options that I like. Easily programmable and updateable, good range, fast and easy multiple searches, and when all else fails I can revert to analog mode. I only used a prototype S1, but in theory it seemed really slick, but wasn't working 100% effectively for me in the field, but that was a prototype. Check out beaconreviews.com!
