LM-1 = Innovate Motorsports, best model if you want to move it between cars... the main box receives power from the cig lighter in your car and it has an display on it (but it updates so fast not really useful)
LC-1 = Innovate Motorsports, Good for 1 car installs... uses the same sensor as the LM-1 (Bosch LSU4, same that volkswagon uses stock) hardwired into the car
the LM-1 has more capabilities for input, but if you are going to use a tuner suite with Input capabilities (like EFI live or HPT w/EIO) then you don't need the extra features of the LM-1
AEM i have no experience with but it seems to work for many
Dynojet also makes a complete kit... If money were no object I'd proabbly go with the dynojet, but if I were buying a new wideband right now.. i'd buy an LC-1 .. Most inexpensive wideband option out there
You'll need a tuner suite regardless... in order to be able to modify the PCM... the Aux Box is great if you want to log limited sensors... but EFI Live or HPT w/EIO are better options IMHO ... you can log the wideband along with any sensor the PCM monitors...

Ok I think I got it. . someone please correct me if im wrong. Im going to get the EFILive tuner so if I get the LC-1 it will go to a guage and into the PCM and then the EFILive tuner will read the PCM and the LC-1 right?

you don't need the gauge.... the gauge is only if you want to have something to look at while driving ... but the LC1 plugs directly into the Tuning hardware
It's best to leave your stock front O2 sensors in place... then you can install the wideband O2 in one of your rear slots (i'm assuming you're not running CATs?), run the wire into the car, hookup the LC-1, one of the output wires of the LC-1 goes to the input of the tuning hardware

The LC-1 comes with the bung and plug for it. You will need to get it welded ahead of your cats and the wideband screws into it just like another O2 sensor.
