I have the most basic Tom Tom you can get, and I like it. Aside from a bigger screen (mostly for browsing the map) and maybe traffic updates (if that applies to you), I can't see what else you'd need.

I have a Garmin C330. I love it. I just need to update the maps. Damned St.Louis construction screws me up!
