I don't know about 1Up other than they're a reputable brand. I just got a Cylops wind trainer and I like it a lot. It is noisey but I don't mind that so much. From what I understand, wind trainers produce the most realistic feel but the compromise is that they're loud. Fluid and mag trainers are supposed to be more quiet but with less realistic feel. I think the differences are related to how resistance increases in response to speed...
