whatever the headunit:

make sure its got MOSFET, very important. will sound clearer and louder than any other head without it.

also make sure it has preamp outputs, a good rms wattage, detachable face, and can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs (most can nowadays)

an mp3 capable one would be nice too

i personally like Panasonics and Alpines, i think they have the best styling

see my cardomain for my panasonic one, sounds really nice and matches my interior perfectly!

I would get an Eclipse 04 unit. Even the cheaper models have quite a few features, and very few headunits can par up to eclipse quality.
