Lemond revolution. The most road like trainer, and you don't need to wear out your rear types while doing it.

Add to what I suggested, as good as the Lemond, I don't use it that much after a year or so. I rather ride in the cold winter than riding the training. It bored me to tears and I only do it if I absolutely have to.

I have a super craptastic Nashbar fluid trainer. It's rusty and loud and I have to use a vise-grip to tighten it since the knob broke off years ago. Highly recommended.

I used the CycleOps 2 fluid trainer all last winter and would recommend you check them out I felt it was smooth and relative quiet

Just got a Cyleops Super Magneto Pro. It's fantastic. It's virtually silent, nice heavy flywheel for a good road like feel. The progressive resistance is very nice and works better than my old blackburn tech fluid.
I had such a bad experience with the Tech Fluid I could not ever see myself getting another fluid trainer so for me the extra cost of the spuer mag was well worth it.
I think the technology in the super mag resistance unit is way ahead of fluid trainers for feel and consistency.

I ride rollers. If they work for you they are awesome. You will learn to pedal circles.

Cycleops Wind. don't let the haters sway you, its a touch loud, but not offensive, especially if you turn up the tunes while you're on it... and they are CHEAP and don't leak fluid.
