Default What MP3 head unit should I buy?

Anyone have any recommendations as to a good MP3 head unit? I'm particularly looking for one with a readable display in bright sunlight.

SPECIAL ALERT TO CIVIC OWNERS:

I have a 97 Civic coupe, and with the tilted mounting location, I can't read my Clarion's display except at night unless I cup my hand over the display (very annoying.)

Thanks in advance!

i have the kenwood mp919, and absolutely love it..
its bright all of the time except when the sun is shining directly on it. it also has a tilt feature so you can tilt it up, which sometimes helps when the sun is directly on it.

Alpine CDA-7894...
That Kenwood is also a very nice unit, a little too complicated to use for me though, but I guess i'd get used to it if I had it.

If the sunlight is a real pain, get the kit to mount the stock cassette deck down in front of the shifter, and mount the deck down there.

I got the Pioneer 7400 mp, its pretty good, but the radio reception sucks, maybe its because i dont have an external antenna, my stock radio was better, but other than that it is pretty good.
