Default Off Topic: Who can recommend an OBDII/CAN Scanner

Hey guys,
I am in the market for an OBDII / CAN diagnostic scanner. Not just for my GXP but for my family's fleet of vehicles (GM, Nissan, and Hyundai). I am looking to spend around $100 (can go higher). Do you guys have any experience with these and can recommend a specific one? Thanks in advance for your help.

I got this one off amazon. I just wanted something cheap because right after I got rid of my Diablo tuner I threw a code. This one is only $27.95 and works good, I only used it the one time though.

i thought about buying one for the longest time. I instead went with renting one from the local auto parts store. You give them $150 and you can rent it for 90 days, when you return it you get all your money back.
