Torque Pro and OBDII Device

I'm interested in opinions of the preferred Bluetooth devices for the OBDII port.

I have an Android phone and will use the Torque Pro app. Seems like there are lots of OBDII adapters to choose from, and I'm uncertain which one to buy. Which do like and recommend?

Thanks,
David

I have this one too and it works well. I do have to restart the app every time I start my truck for some reason. Not sure if it's related to the adapter or something in my app settings.

I have an android receiver deck and also have to start the app each time I drive.
I got one of the cheapest on eBay, a wifi model. Not sure if Bluetooth isn't better though. But the wifi seems to work
