Default depth sounder

Ok folks i expect the war to start.....grin
I am looking to buy a depth sounder for my new boat.
Please keep in mind we are talking budget here not top of the range.
At the moment there is no other instruments on board.
I may marry it to a cheaper plotter/gps but as i work on charts the
plotter is not essential (nice but not essential)
the boat is a full keeler with the cut away for foot
dis 28000 lbs 4'6" draft.
If i could have pro's and con's on your choose
it would be great.
I figure there is more people out there that know a heap more than i do
on these things and have installed them on there boats.
Last boat i had had a hummingbird made by eagle and i got to admit as
cheap as it was it did the job for 5 years and is still doing the job
for the new owner.
