Elliptical / Stairmaster / Treadmill / Rowing machine?

I enjoy my weights routine but as I am trying to lose weight and keep fit I like to add some cardio in every week too. Usually around 30 minutes or so after lifting weights.

Which is the best machine for a good workout? My gym has them all so just wondered what people's first choice would be from the ones in the subject title?

    I think the best plan is to use a different machine each time. Keep your body adapting to new things while working on cardio. If you find you enjoy one more than the others, do that one every other time and switch out the other days.

    I think the stair ergometer is the toughest workout, and I wish my gym had one. I use the elliptical, switching to the rowing machine if I get an injury. Switching around is probably a good strategy.
