We tried many brands - preferring USB models with sound cards for similar reasons to others here. We felt pretty good about the midrange Logitech models, but they never seemed to last, and were quite expensive. We tried the Plantronics - in particular I can say that the 995H is expensive and really poorly designed.
For the past year we have been very happy with the 'Everyman' - purchased through Skype for between $20 and $30 (price seems to have gone from $20 to $30). It folds, which can be nice for travelling, is cheap enough that we can buy lots, and sounds good. I also like the way you can plug in USB or analog jack - which makes it handy as a pair of headphones in a pinch.
