I really like my Cateye wireless with cadence, about $30. Later, I purchased a Garmin Edge with heartrate. I like it too and have both on my bike.

I have a two sigma's - BC2006DTS (digtal wireless, alitmeter, and HRM For $125US) and an old BC1200 with a wireless kit. I haven't had a problem with interference- but YMMV
I have a Sigma double wireless computer. I no longer use the cadence feature, however, but haven't bothering to remove it. I, too, like the clean look of a wireless computer. That said, I've often been very aggravated with trying to get the sensor lined up with the magnet. Because I transport my bike in my car a lot, it has a tendency to get jostled around. If I just rode my bike to and from my house, it probably wouldn't be a big deal. I've also had some trouble with the computer itself staying put on its bracket on the stem. The "locking" mechanism for it isn't very secure.
I'm in the process of building a new bike and I'm hestitant to use Sigma again. The price is right and the computer itself is easy enough to use, but there are just too many bugs with it.

I have the Cateye CD300 - wireless with cadence. The nice thing about it is that it only has one censor, that goes on the back tire. I can put the bike on the trainer and still get mph and miles ridden as well as cadence. Right now it's $179 at Performance, but I think I got mine from them on sale for about $125.
Thank you all SO MUCH for your replies and stories! That really helps a lot. I believe I'm leaning toward the Cateye. I'm looking forward to getting it and not having to drive each route I take to determine distance.
