Default OBD devices

So I've installed the Pioneer AppRadio so I can interface my iPhone with my stereo. There are apps that will let me read OBD data on the head unit and display some cool gauges and read error codes etc.

Anyone have any experience with the various devices that I might buy? Any they care to recommend or warn against? Not knowing much about this technology, I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices.

Here's one.
Here's another.
These guys list a few...

Hey Can you post some pictures of your installed appradio? Another member posted some pictures, wondering how your install came out. I am interested in this head unit for my car.

Thanks

Look to this post for some pix.

I was aided considerably by other guys in this forum and would be glad to be able to repay their assistance, so ask any questions and I'll help if I can.
