This is the Gyro we use.

It's pricey but it works great.
I'll second this. The turn rate of the kit gyro is too easy to hit. We used the ADXRS300 last year as well, although we wired up the eval board. The SparkFun one looks a bit easier to wire up.

We're using a gyro this year as well, it was really nice when the students rigged up a PID loop to keep the robot driving perfectly straight.
