They are all good but here are my recommendations:

For Trailer Stations it depends on what you need. Altalab is used by every top fuel and funny car team, the Performaire and Computech are popular with sportsman racers. I like a display unit for ease of use, the Peformaire has one as does the Altalab. Prices start at around $1600.

If contingency is important then it will be impossible to beat the Performaire weather stations with huge payouts for NHRA wins and runner ups.

For Hand Held then there is no clear winner, it depends on what you need. Computech and Performaire Eclipse all work well and are accurate. Altronics just announced that the Eclipse has a pop up Wind Meter that will tell you the wind speed and gusts as an option! The Performaire Eclipse has rechargable batteries, and 120 volt power supply, and a better outside but it is $130 more than the rest. A neat little handheld we sell is the Kestrel 4000 and 4250 models. These even have an integrated wind meter for under $249.

I have them all in stock, call if you have specific questions.
