So, I am finally looking at investing in one of these suckers.

Anyone have ideas?

I have been looking at the TomTom, as a few of my friends have them. I like the whole map-sharing feature and the customization.

I kinda don't wanna spend more than $200

Do they have the ability to use bluetooth GPS radios on the iPhone yet? IMHO that's the way to go. I got a great bluetooth GPS device, about the size of a matchbook, for only about $40 and it just uses your existing PDA/phone. Cool part is you can use it places other than the car, as well as try out different softwares (google maps, live, tomtom, etc). The complete car GPS units are essentially just a PDA w/the manufacturer's software built-in.

As far as the actual full blown car GPS units, I have used the TomTom software and it worked pretty well.
