I have a Lodestar guide camera which I have been using lately.
Ideally it is suited to PHD, Maxim it also works in CCDsoft although you will need to use autodark on occasion if the guide star isn't bright enough.
It is incredibly convenient with the one usb cable providing both power and connection to the computer and the small eyepiece size and lightweight takes stress off your focuser.
It is quite sensitive as well.
New these are US$695 + US Shipping, this one is AUD$575 + shipping in Oz.
