+1 for the CycleOps 2 Fluid. I tested both the Fluid and the Magnetic and opted for the Fluid despite it's higher cost. Now that I have it set up in my unheated garage, I like it a lot better. I got too hot using it inside. It's smooth, not very noisy and easy to set up.

The Kurt Kinetic was the other brand that I considered. Both get good marks as others have mentioned.
