i used a audi g235 sensor off a 2002 rs4 and it worked spot on then wired the zeitronix up to the emerald for self tune + closed loop , unlike most widebands the zeix is cheap to use with its own egt sensor and map sensor so enables you to do a full data log

None of the LSU4 based kits are super accurate, but if you're happy with say a 5% or so error margin then any of them should do the job.

I use the Motec PLM.... Expensive but good !

As with anything, these are only as good as the sensor, its location and its amount of use.
