Maxbotic Ultra Sonic Senors, Which One

Our team it thinking about using ultrasonic senors for collision avoidance in autonomous mode this year and was wondering which maxbotic sensor would be optimal.

The EZ-2 or EZ-3 have narrower beam widths and it we are reasoning that matching the beam width to the width of the robot 28" is optimal.

Also, it seems the Maxbotix sensors will not require an IRQ handler. You simply pulse them, then wait 50ms and read the analog voltage.

Any comments are appreciated since we have no experience in this area.
