I am also very happy with my Garmin eTrex Vista HCx, allthough it
doesn't feature a recent GPS chipset.

On the german list there is a discussion at the moment about current
GPS-loggers (+ Bluetooth-connection to use them as GPS dongle for other
devices) and their chipsets.
Very interesting (and new) devices that have been mentioned there:

(using u-blox 5)
http://www.kowoma.de/gps/geraetetests/iblue%20747A+/iblue747A+.html
(MTKII-chipset)

The pages are in german but you can find other reviews of these devices
via Google.

Depends on what exactly you are looking for. A device with a "big"
screen for map display and navigation or just a GPS-logger with
pushbutton to create waypoints ...

Best regards,
