I like all the units mentioned here but I prefer the FJO units.
(1) They use either the NTK or the Bosch WB's, but of the two I prefer the NTK as it is far superior in life and reads all fuels and additives without a hitch or crapping out.
(2) Several of the FJO units support multiple WB's - nice for both bank monitoring or one on the dyno charts and the other into HP Tuners.
(3) FJO software and logging capabilities are excellent
just my $.02 worth

I've given up trying to get my LC1 to accurately read. It outputs 8.9 constantly and only works 15% of the time. They have said that they will replace it, but at this point I think I'm just going to get another unit as it is too much of a pain in the a$$. Tried recalibration, new sensor, and relocating the O2 bung with no luck (reads error 8).
Which wideband are you using and have you had any success with it? I am looking into the AEM unit - I already have their boost controller and it works well....

One that was suggested to me by an OEM level calibration engineer was the NGK Powerdex. It can use either the Bosch or NTK sensor.
If you want a "lab grade" wideband and can afford it ECM or Horiba makes some of the very best widebands anywhere.
I have personally used the 8-channel Horiba as well and it's fantastic! But WAY out of the ball park for anything or anyone less than a corporation. LOL
