Make sure to get a model that does auto start/stop when it sees the wheel turning as well as auto wake from sleep mode. I have one (an Ascent IO) computer that I otherwise like, but it does not wake from sleep mode on it's own. I frequently forget to wake it up after a break and then it doesn't record the next part of my ride. One it is woken up, it auto starts/stops just fine.
If you are on a budget and just need basics, a wired model for about $20-30 will do just fine. You can find a decent one even less if you shop the sales.
