Bluetooth HRM recommendations for use with Iphone 5s

Options
I have a garmin 310xt with a HRM but when I'm out riding horse, that's dedicated to capturing my horse's heart rate. So..I was thinking about getting a second heart rate monitor strap to use via Bluetooth with my iPhone 5s.

I use Strava, MapMyFitness, and Endomondo for apps so ideally I want something that works with all of them.

I have a gift certificate to a bike shop that carries the Topeak Heart Rate Monitor strap but can't find many reviews on it. http://www.topeak.com/products/PanoBike/heart_rate_monitor

There's also:

Polar H7 http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/accessories/H7_heart_rate_sensor
Wahoo Fitness: http://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/wahoo-tickr-heart-rate-strap.html
Zephyr: http://www.zephyranywherestore.com/Zephyr-Monitor-iPhone-Android-Bluetooth/dp/B009XDTN80

I will say the new wahoo fitness TICKR straps that are "coming soon" look really cool! So..maybe I should wait.

And other techie folks here want to chime in?

    I have the Polar and the Polar App on my Iphone. I really like it!!! Seems very accurate. It syncs with RunKeeper as well so I hear my HR and the app and runkeeper are only a few calories off for total burn.
