we get this kind of question a lot.  you probably won't get as many "just 
get a davis" responses as you would on wxforum.net, but without knowing 
your requirements it is very difficult to provide a response better than 
"station x is the bestest because that is what i use".

for anyone wondering about hardware, here are some of the things you should 
think about, and if possible, enumerate, in order to get better feedback:

- do you want an integrated sensor cluster, or separate rain, wind, and 
temperature/humidity sensors?
- do you require a physical console to display the data?
- is there power available where the sensors will be located?  where the 
console/basestation will be located?  what kind of power?
- is a hardware data logger required?  preferred?
- is there a preferred communication mechanism, e.g., wifi, bluetooth, 
wired (serial, usb, tcp/ip)?
- how much tinkering do you want to do for installation/configuration?
- how much tinkering are you willing to do for maintenance/operation?
- is remote access a requirement or a nice-to-have?
- where do you want the data to end up?

i should have led with this, but there you go.
