What's the best radar detector?

I've used the Escort windshield mounted and now built in for over 10-years and have yet to get a ticket. I always drive fast.. It's been great to me.. Go to escortradar.com and check out the many choices and good luck!

windshield mount - V1, escort 9500ix, escort redline, beltronic sti
i prefer v1 after testing it with escort 9500ix myself. the escort has more bells and whistles which didn't work for me. the red light camera alert didn't go off after database update. also, the radar was dead quiet even after going through speed traps. v1 gives false alarm a lot (even after disabling the x band) but at least it works.
if you want a cheap (sub $100) unit. Cobra is great too. I have an old cobra that works fairly well.
