what HRM do you recommend?

Ok, I am looking for a HRM but dont have any clue what I should be looking for. What would you recommend and why? I dont want to spend too much but I also dont want to settle for anything too cheap...middle of the road is usually perfect. Any advice would be great. Thank you!!

I have a Polar F6 that I ordered off amazon.com as it was cheaper than local sporting goods store or the polar website & I really like it.

Polar FT series are some of the best! I get my HRMs from heartratemonitorsusa.com

I have a Polar FT7 and I really like. It's very consistent and I believe very accurate.

I LOVE mine.

It's completely amazing.
And really well priced for one with a strap.
Easy to figure out if you actually take the time to read the manual! [:
