Here is a general buying guide, based completely on my opinion but I have had a V1, Escort 9500ix, Escort MAX 360, Laser Intercepter jammers, and Antilaser Priority jammers so I am somewhat into this stuff.
Best overall performer:
V1 + bluetooth module + YaV1 app
CON: You have to use the bluetooth module and app with your phone to get features like GPS lockout (if you are unfamiliar, this uses GPS positioning to find recurring false alarms and stops reporting them to you. It's a fantastic feature that I can not live without).
Best performer out of the box:
Escort MAX 2 or 360 (depending on if you want the arrows).
CON: feels a little laggy compared to the V1, but gives you a complete feature set out of the box
Best detection performance:
Bel STI-R
CON: Basically featureless.
Note: Do they primarily use laser in your area? One thing anyone in the market needs to realize is that no detector will protect you from laser. If laser is commonly used in your area, laser jammers are the only thing that will protect you. If you are in the market for jammers, the only one you should consider buying right now is Antilaser.
I personally run a MAX 360 and Antilaser Priority with two jammer heads in the front.
