I recently started using an Animas 1250 and I love it. The only drawback I have found so far (which may or may not be important to you) is that if you enter carb or BG information in to the pump, it does not save it in its history. The Paradigm and Cosmo pumps do.

Regarding CGMS, be aware that Minimeds implementation of CGMS as approved by the FDA does not allow you to make changes to your dosing etc based on the cgms values. You are supposed to back up any CGMS reading with a fingerstick. Also, currently, I haven't heard of any insurance plan that will cover CGMS supplies (which are expensive). There will be standalone CGMS systems coming from Mimined, Abbott, and a company called Dexcom here in the near future though. (hopefully..)
