Re: Sensor Recommendations
In the past we've used:

Quadrature Encoders with great success.
Maxbotix Sonic Range finders with minor success.
Gyro(300) from Sparkfun without success.
Compass with limited success (I can't remember which one).
Custom made IR Board with excellent success.
CMUCam with limited success.

We've also written all of our own code from scratch for these which is mostly responsible for the limited successes.
