I want to add a wide band O2 sensor and gauge to monitor the A/F ratio on TCST for tuning purposes ... which one is the best for the money etc.?

I purchased a spartan 3 from 14point7 and have been very happy with it

I sell and use almost exclusively AEM. Good quality, good value, good people.

I've been using an Innovate MTX in multiple cars without issue.

I've always had good luck with Innovate products

I have had terrible luck with innovate products, garbage IMHO. 

 

have had luck with a standard bosch LSU style sensor but given my haltech architecture it just a haltech dual wideband unit but I do love it! I have had good luck with the AEM one as well.

I've had an Innovate LC-1 on my Locost for years now. Gone through three sensors so far, and still doesn't inspire me with confidence.

I put a 300-series AEM on the '61 Apache and I'm very pleased so far.

I was going to rant about the awful form factor of the Innovate LC1 and how sensors do not last very long with them but I see it is no longer offered. 

The LC2 looks to at least be mountable without zip ties.

I've got the AEM X Series in a couple cars. My only complaint is that they can be a little hard to integrate with MSPNP boxes I've ran. Once you figure out it once though, it's been rock solid for many years now. I've got a new one ready to go in another car over the winter.

+1 on AEM.  Bonus points for it being a decent match to VDO style gauges in my 80's VW.

I run the Innovate LC2 in my car. The sensor and gauge are great. Monitoring through a laptop is a lost cause. You need to find an old laptop that runs an older version of Windows to run the Innovate software. I wish I'd have known that when I installed it.

My Innovate is on it's third sensor.  Fortunately they don't break the bank.
