Like the title says. Plus which is the easiest to setup with the datalogit?

Theoretically any wideband with a 0-5 volt output. However, I recommend purchasing a unit with the following two features as well:



(1) Linear Output:

The voltage output on most widebands does not progress in a linear fashion as the AFR increases. This can be compensated for using a polynomial equation in the Datalogit. However, I have heard there are limits to this solution, and many wideband manufacturers do not supply an accurate equation so the end user is left to derive it. Tech Edge and a couple other companies offer widebands with linear output signalsl, eliminating the need to covert the signal with the datalogit.



(2) Reference Ground signal:

The datalogit has a floating ground, which makes it difficult to get an accurate reading with a simple 0-5v wire input. Widebands, such as the Tech Edge line, have a reference ground wire that you can plug into the datalogit along side the 0-5v input line. Using the Delta function (AN1-AN2) in the Datalogit software you can record the 0-5v signal relative to the ground signal.
