Looking for a good, cheap gyro

[AdamHeard]

Has anyone tried using a more sophisticated gyro with thermal compensation and filtering onboard, interfaced over the I2c port?

Unless the gyro has built in integration, it would take a lot of I2C traffic to sample it at a high enough rate, and you'd have to write your own routine for integration.

Integrating the gyro is very doable. We did it in 2010, I believe I still have the code (In Java) somewhere. However it was an analog sensor, I never got to work with an I2C one.

On the subject we also have a good experience with the KOP gyro.
