Like everything, it depends what you want to spend. I have an Escort Passport 8500. I LOVE it. I'd recommend it to anyone. It costs around 300 dollars or so. And I know the Valentine One radar detector is supposed to be REALLY good, too (thought equally as pricey). If you want to go all out, get the Escort Passport 9500i. Read about it. It's wicked. It even tells you the direction it's detecting from! I want one!
Ranges vary depending on the detector and environment. In an open area like a highway or something, you can get a couple miles out of it. Where I live (Chicago suburbs), they had one of those things set up on the side of the road that tells you your speed. I counted 9/10ths of a mile away when i started detecting it with mine.
