Advice for a new autoguider

Im currently using a DSI II Pro camera as an auto guider for my imaging.
I also use either Nebulosity 3 or CCDSoft to gather images while guiding with PhDguide through a 72mm guidescope, however after a few scares with the DSI I'm looking to get a new guide camera just in case I'm caught short with no guider.
I find that with darks subtracted in phdguiding the DSI always finds a star to guide on and I was looking a either a Lodestar, qhy5 or fishcamp guider as a backup. What would be the pros and cons of these different guiders using my current software?
Thanks in advance for your experiences.
Allan
