I'd go for the count 14 if budget allows.

What is your budget and what is your requirements? If your looking for cheap wired one, Decathlon has this Sigma on offer but like ohoward I use the Count 14+. If you sticking to Btwin, look at this thread for arny's summery of the ones available.

Getting a computer with cadence is a must. Wouldn't be without it now. You can buy a HR strap for the 14 too.
The 14 is a nice unobstrusive easy to use unit.

I got my HRM yesterday. Got it off ebay. I went for a Garmin ANT+ and so far so good. Only tested it for a few miles to see what kind of readings I was getting. With all these 'fancy' gizmos it's how you end up using it to improve your ride, as I've started doing by monitoring cadence. I think after a few longish rides, I can work out heart rate trigger points so I can get the count14+ to beep at me...reminding me I'm slowing down and not as fit as I think I am.

Going to setup the wife's phone so she can monitor me. She has been getting more worried has my ride distance increase. It's that feature that's a deal breaker for me as I wasn't too keen on the fact it doesn't support Smart Bluetooth and there has been a few complaints about software.
