I've had a Garmin GPSmaps 60CSX for several years and I've found it to be very versatile and rugged. It locks onto satellite signals quickly, is quite accurate (even in areas with heavy tree canopy), has many customization options for recording tracks/waypoints, as well as good interface support. It's got a MicroSD card in it, so I can store scads of data. Some minor dislikes: all of the Garmin-supplied support software is either Windows- or Mac-based (but I more than compensate with GPSBabel and other Linux-based tools), and it can be inaccurate in urban canyons with very tall buildings.
I use it while traveling and (mostly) for OpenStreetMap mapping parties.
