Innovate MTX-L. The only 'all-digital' wideband controller.
I got mine for $175 shipped.
Serial logging w/eCtune works great. No 0-5v output required.

Re: best wideband under 200?
In my personal experience, the build of the controller/gauge is garbage, the harness is trash and the readings are inconsistent. I tried using different sensors(1 new, 2 used) and it still gave me inconsistent readings.
The unit I was using was about 2 years old. I'd hope they're more consistent when newer. My old m300 was 5 years old before it **** the bed and was consistent from day one.

The sensors have nothing to do with that wideband. Plenty of widebands use the bosch lsu sensor. It's the controller that is shitty.

Using a cheap wideband to log can be frustrating, but using a cheap wideband on a closed-loop car can cost you a motor. You just have to choose what you want out of that wideband.

Any opinions or input on the PLX widebands and controllers?

I have an old PLX M300 and its been good to me so far.

I use an aem unit. Its easy as hell to install and use. I get acurate readings both on the gauge and at the ecu. Some more advanced users might want something else but, for the price the aem works awesome.
Innovate lc-1 did not work for me. Burned through 2 controllers quickly. They are finicky to ground and a pain to install. I wouldn't buy anymore innovate stuff.

LC-1 would be a great wideband if it weren't so damn picky on how it was wired.
