Best GPS Data Logger for Geotagging with Canon Eos 450d?

Question

I have a Canon EOS 450d and I want a good GPS data logger I can keep in my pocket or bag and use to geotag my photo's.

I don't need it for in car navigation or anything like that just geotagging, although I've seen the

GlobalSat GH-625 watch which I would be curious to know if thats any good as I do a lot of running. otherwise I've been looking at things like GlobalSat DG-100 or Amod AGL3080 GPS Photo Tracker.

Any advice/suggestions would be great.

I've actually been testing a few of these loggers out at work.  Basically, the thing that I've noticed is that the ones that use the MTK chipset acquire the signal faster and do a better job of locking on than the ones that use the SiRF III (such as the Amod).

As far as accuracy goes, they are all about the same.  In addition to those, I've also got a few other ones.  So far, the one that I like the best is the PhotoTrackr by GiSTEQ. It costs around $100 when I got it from http://www.semsons.com/ .  I also have the PhotoTrackr Lite.  It doesn't use bluetooth (which I didn't really care about), it can't act as a GPS mouse (it only acts as a logger), but it uses a single AA battery (good for when you don't want to be concerned with charging a lithium ion battery).  However, the lite version doesn't lock onto the satellites as quickly as the bluetooth one does.
