Default Opinions on OBD2 scanners

I can't decide on what scanner I want to purchase. I was looking at a bunch and they all seem pretty reliable. What does everyone here use or recommend?

I've got torque Lite (free) on my android phone using the OBD Bluetooth adapter from amazon, or was it ebay? Anyways, I just use it to check codes and clear them. Basic stuff. It works great for that and cost me like $12. Never had to research into it more.

I have the exact same set up (except I have a real ELM327) because I did an Android tablet install in my Genesis. Works 100% flawlessly! You have to make sure you buy a real ELM327. There are so many fake ones out there. The bad ones will not communicate with Torque that well so you'll have tons of issues.
