Garmin eTrex. The basic old yellow one. But the cable has a proprietary connector on it and the cables aren't cheap (half the price of the GPS itself for the Garmin official one, 20 quid from ebay). About 100 quid for GPS, cable and handlebar mount.
If I were to buy a new GPS from scratch I'd get a eTrex Legend HCx or Vista HCx and upload the free OpenStreetMap bundle rather than paying lots of money for the Garmin maps. There are more solid mounts available for the colour eTrexes too.
The Edge series, plus some others, aren't that useful for Audaxing as they don't have replaceable batteries, so you're stuck with external battery packs or battery life that won't get you through a 300km ride.
I create my routes using bikely.com and upload them to the GPS using GPSTrackmaker (FREE Edition).
