I think the Heiman combined Methods/Stats book (the white one in its 3rd edition) is going out of print. So, it is probably not a good choice, even though we used it with success for many years.
Davis and Smith, An introduction to Research Methods and Statistics may be one to look at, also. If you are doing a single semester course, IMO, none of these books can get you there. The information density is too high. If you are doing a 2 semester sequence, and are willing to require the same book for both courses, and providing that your course descriptions don't get in the way of what you can present splitting the contents of the books, I think any of them would be effective.
