The FreeStyles need half the blood of the other ones you list. Error-wise it's also very liberal. This means few if any repeats are needed. For a blood-quesy person, this is my choice.

If features is what you want, go with the UltraSmart. Most are very satisfied with them.

If coding bothers you, go with the Contour, but beware the high error rate.

The Aviva is a great all around monitor. It's 2nd best error-wise.
