Self-Balancing 2 Wheeled Robot

Since build/official competitions are over I've been working on making my own robot. Currently, the frame is done (I'll try to post pictures later, for a CAD model see bottom of the post) and I'm looking at what electronic parts I should buy. Here's my current list:

Microcontroller $85.95

6 AA Battery Holder $0.75

Solarbotics GM8 Gearmotor (2x) $12.00
Solarbotics Plastic Wheel (2x) $8.00
Shipping: $4.95

12" PWM Cables (2x) $18.94


What I need is a gyroscope, although of all the researching I've done of balancing robots people have used both gyroscopes and accelerometers. Will just a gyroscope be sufficient? Does anyone know a good/cheap gyroscope/accelerometer that I would need?

Thanks in advance.

CAD Model:
*Note: Those aren't the motors I'm using, and it's wood... not metal.*



EDIT: Whoops, this was supposed to go in Technical Discussion, any mod feel free to move it.
