bike computer advise

[samcrx3]

My trusty old Ciclomaster may have died after many reliable years of service.
I am now faced with purchasing a new one but there are so many available, I don't know where to start.
I'm looking for something that is reliable and wireless. Perhaps wireless cadence, but adds $$ and not sure if it is really necessary. I've not heard good things about Sigma or Polar. I've really liked the altimeter on mine because we live in hilly terrain, but it is not essential.
Anyone have some good ideas?
Thanks Sam

I would read the reviews on sites such as amazon and nashbar.

I personally love my Knog N.E.R.D. 12 function. Easy to remove when needed and works and looks great. Comes in about 6 colors too. I was sold on Cateye wireless, but I have now bought two of these Knog NERDS. No cadence though.

I picked this one up at wal-mart for 20 bucks. Works pretty well...
