Hi Chris.

It depends upon how many features you want, and how much power you want to 
handle.  My personal pick would be the LDG PRO200 auto tuner--pricy, but it 
handles enough power to give a little headroom above the normal 100 watts 
that people typically run, and it gives you 160 through 6 meters.  And, you 
can buy interfaces to run it from the tune button on just about any of the 
modern rigs out there.  With the interface, it's about $320, which is 
pricy, but it tunes a wide range of loads, and it remembers settings and 
can retrieve them very quickly.  If it were not for the quality control 
issues, I would also suggest the MFJ 993, but I only had mine for a few 
weeks when I started running into problems with it, so I cannot recommend 
or endorse that model.
