I have three Garmins, and I really like all of them. I haven't tried other brands but Garmin has excelled beyond my expectations so I'm loyal to them.
My first was the cheapest Nuvi, I think the model number was 200, and it was excellent. The two extra features I now find useful are the built-in bluetooth speakerphone for cell phones, and the very indulgent text-to-speech which says road names--"Turn at Oak Street" rather than "Turn in 500-feet".
I always found the Garmin website to be useless for comparative shopping (maybe it's changed now), however Amazon has nice charts for simple comparisons, like this one:

Good luck!
