For a non-drifting gyro we use the NavX which only drifts 2 or 3 degrees in a match. If you wanted to track position you could doubly integrate an accelerometer and combine that with the gyro, but again you will need a good accelerometer as doubly integrating adds even more opportunity for accumulated error.
