Wideband O2 options... Well, Flashscan and Tuning arrived today, so I think I'm officially *** deep with the mod bug. 
Now I'm interested in monitoring my A/F ratio for tuning and have searched for comparisions between the several Wideband options out there (Dynojet Commander, Innovative Wideband, and FJO), but haven't had any luck with each manufacturers pros/cons. Eventual plans are forced induction. What should I look for in a kit? Do I need a RPM converter/tach hookup or should I just go with a Wideband O2 and hook it up to the Flashscan and Tune and call it a day?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

the LC1 is one of the best bang for the buck units out there, if you free air calibrate it, you will get decent results.
I personally like the AFM 1000, but at a cost of $1500 or so, it is not a wideband most end users will use. I like the NTK sensors as they do not drift, they are just acurate, and one day just die. Where the Bosch sensors will start to drift lean over time.
I personally own a LM1 as well, and compared to the AFM1000 sensor, if the LM1 is not free air calibrated with the vehicle running (to ensure proper voltage) the difference between the 2 are suprising. When you properly calibrate the LM1 it is fairly accurate.

I have used the PLX M-300 with Flash Scan for the past eight months (I'm one of the Beta Testers) and am extremely pleased. However, I believe that for the most part all of the WBAFR are good and serve the purpose. They are dependent upon the accuracy of the sensor and most use the Bosch sensor which is very accurate.

PM us as we have the LC-1 or LM-1 on sale. Ive used both the innovate and PLX brands.
We use to be a plx deler, now we only sell innovate because they work so good and are programable!

The LM-1 supports the NTK sensor. It can actually be configured for two different Bosch sensors, the NTK, and I think one other that I can't remember. It comes with the Bosch by default, but you can probably get it without a sensor if you choose and supplyu your own.
I don't know if the LC-1 can support multiple sensors or if it is hardwired for the default Bosch.
