The stock o2 sensor is a narrowband sensor. It only has a range of 0-1 volts. Basically it was only engineered to tell you if the engine is running at stoichiometric conditions (14.7:1). This Stoich level isn't even what you would tune a boosted or nitrous car for, this would only apply to an N/A tune.
A wideband o2 can read from 0-5 volts and gives a much more accurate reading. This is engineered to be accurate and read air/fuel at different levels than stoich (rich or lean).

not required, but necessary to tune. narrowband will never let you know that you are running rich enough for boost.
you could just go to a dyno that has a wideband and tune it and then leave it alone. the only problem with not having one installed daily is that you could have a situation in which your car leans out or becomes untuned and you don't know until...boom!!

I've had good success with the Innovate. They are quite popular and are a great price. Innovative Motor Sports I belive is the name of the company.

This should clarify a lot of wideband questions, hopefully:

Re: (PHiZ)
hey thanks phiz!! so a normal O2 sensor won't give you a accurate reading where as a wideband will? also they can be used as datalogging right? since uberdata doesn't have datalogging (yet) a wideband would be a good idea? or is it not nessesary
