Other suggestion from those who may have tried out any of the other products mentioned in the thread above?

If you get the Hero2, you need a diving flat lens housing. Due to refraction, with the curved lens, it will be very blurry.
Hero 3 housing is already flat so you do not need to buy another housing.
From what I've read, the Hero3 has much better low-light performance. Plus some of the new features like "picture in video", which allows you to simultaneously capture video and photos would be handy.
