Lowrance
I've got a Lowrance HDS8m and although I'm still learning how to use it, it's a great plotter and easy to operate, read, etc.
Had some help with a few of the menus from Michael at Chivers Marine....they've got quite a display area of fishfinders, plotters & combos by Furuno, Lowrance and Simrad, etc. and it would be worth calling in and having a play with what's on display.
Go as big as you can afford....and check out the detail on the platinum chart cards; very impressive.
