I have an Actron unit (I think it is the CP9175) that I picked up last year. I should have went one step up in order to be able to read individual sensor data. Other than that, it works great and has helped me out several times in diagnosing not only our cars, but friends' and familys' too.

1999 Formula WS6 M6-sold- 2001 Silverado Z71
this little guy is great for reading and clearing codes fast. Mac and Matco sell it but I found it cheaper online. Search "OBD ii scanner" Google shopping and you'll find it.
And this scan tool called CReaderV from Launch is a nice large screen scanner that can read/clear codes, read data, and some other stuff

I think this is the best bang for the buck if your looking for a decent code reader

If your looking for a little more out of it, they have step ups from that model.
