I use a polar FT7. I love it. I have also heard great things about the Wahoo Monitors that work with apps on your iPhone/Android like "MapMyRun", etc.
To answer JAcreasy's question about Calories burned, a HRM is about the best way to accurately gauge calories burned when doing an Aerobic Workout. Evey HRM/Gauge/Website has their own algorithm. The Polar, in my experience, always seems to mach more closely the accepted algoritms published in peer reviewed journals. In fact, it is a little more conservative than when I took the data and calculated them myself.
The HRMs built into machines or the calories burned from fitness trackers are just rough guidelines based on norms.
