The Talon itself is a grade A product; we just had First robotics the weekend before last, they worked great. No troubles at all. Assuming a low-ish 40 amps works for you, they were almost everything I could ask for. Having said that, they are only available from Andymark to my knowledge, a website that charges horrible shipping rates (see for yourself; they really are atrocious).
One alternative is the Sabertooth line of motor controllers (you would probably want either the 2X25 or 2X60. Id say 2X60). It has built in mixing as an option, which may be a huge plus for you, and the 2X indicates it has two separate channels (ie it replaces two Talons). However, they are also harder to set up (you have to set the dip switches to tell it what mode you want) and somewhat temperamental in disposition.
