I made a post about this the other day in one of the stolen threads.

We done huge amounts of research into what was best for us after doing a test with Tracker.

The Tracker plant or retrieve were pretty good options. there were several things that made them stand out from the others, firstly GPS/GSM/VHF signal, then it's ability to monitor what is going on with units if you have several machines are parked together, so if one gets tampered with the other units inform Tracker, the ability to allow machines to be ring fenced so if they go outside of a specified area during the working day it notifies Tracker, VHF detectors fitted at ports, and the mesh system was pretty impressive, there was loads more that all added to the chances of you getting your kit back more likely than others we looked at for the price, also they bring it back to you if they find it which saves the hassle of sorting it yourself, GPS is too easily and cheaply blocked.

I sound like an advert for them :), but do your homework before jumping in with any of them.

It also depends how well the unit is fitted and hidden.

Edit: I also used to get the monthly stats from Tracker on recovery rate and was quite surprised how high it was compared to what was stolen.
