Scan tool

What is the best scan tool out there? I've seen INNOVA and ACTRON brands, and they offer various models. Since I have a 1995 850turbo, my vehicle is right on the cusp of the change-over to the OBD II format; but, now I understand that all vehicles are/will be using the CAN format. So, I want a scan tool that will work for both, one that SHOWS the code description and not just the code itself, and one that is obviously upgradeable. Also, I think that the "freeze frame" and "memory" features would be great, so you can recall troubleshooting sessions.

Oh, and around $200.00.

Thanks!
