If you just want a simple "consumer" OBD-II reader for looking up codes, clearing errors, etc., I just bought an AutoXray Code Scout 1500 that I'm happy with. For a simple reader, it comes with all the on-screen code definitions, etc. It's very user-friendly. The magazines ranked it highly, too (Consumer Reports or Popular Mechanics, I forget which one.). The prices vary greatly, though, so check around.
If you need something more significant (for diagnostics/scanning), the higher-end (i.e. more expensive) ones from Actron are pretty standard.
Make sure it's got the features you want.
