Airtronics Stylus
Well, I'm biased because I am a Stylus user. However, I have used and programmed JR 8103, Futaba, Hitec Eclipse, and others and none beats the Stylus for the easy user interface of programming. It has the most intuitive and English language prompts of any of these radios. It's dead easy.
Also, the Stylus offers the ability to plug in a 50 model memory card in the side. I have all my models on the one card. I own only the Stylus Tx. No need for anything else. For Aerobatic types, Glider experts, or Chopper guys, you can also buy specific programming cards to add numerous programming features and mixers specific to these aircraft. Ultimate in flexibility. Also, high quality electronic hardware and design.
The only down side is no digital trims (if you like digital trims). It does have trim memory so you just press a button after your flight to "remember" the trim setting and then bring your trims back to center.
