I'm on the Vbar and love it. I find it easy to setup but probably because I've been doing it for a couple years now.
I prefer gyros that are computer programmed because I save my files once i get a heli setup. That way when I tweak it, and over tweak it, I can take it back to the original settings without messing with keeping notes in a notebook or something.
To each their own. I think any modern gyro over 100 bucks will perform well.
