I have a Protege 9.0 wireless mounted on a stem- it has a mount that works either way, but since it can't rotate forward/back, it's harder to read the display. I like the temperature reading, but the after a stop, the display doesn't come back on until it is pushed.
Overall, I like the 5.0 wired the best (Also only mounts on handlebar). I think part of the slide-the-whole-unit design is to put the button on the bottom where it is less likely to leak. I've had no water issues after plenty of wet rides.
One more point re wired/ wireless:
While the wire is more of a mess, the pick up sensor is smaller and less likely to get knocked out of position.
