What's a decent scan tool to use?

I need something that will read the values like IAC and TPS, etc.

What's something decent that won't break the bank.

If you're not going to tune, then try AutoTap, it is within that price range.

I've used Torque for android and also a tuner. Both work well just for scanning. If you want to spend over $100 I would also recommend getting a tuner instead.

I don't think an OBDII scanner is complete without the ability to access freeze frame data.

AutoEnginuity is good, but you need the GM-Enhanced add on, this brings the total price to $450.

( AE can scan/log all modules on your serial bus, and has bidirectional ability on all modules that support it, e.g. PCM and ABS )
