OBD II Software?

[Gallcobair]

Hi,
Im thinking about buying some Diagnostic equipment and Im looking for suggestions for a budget OBD II software package(or what would you recomend for general car diagnostics).

1/ What are the more reliable names out there to buy?
2/ Best way to run the program, (ie. Laptop or PDA)?

Yeah its for a garage.
Tasks like fault code reading, service light setting and possibly key coding etc.
Doesn't have to have any modding options like ECU mapping/tunning etc.

Bob on gendan.co.uk and have a look. I've only ever used manufacturer specific ones, not generic.
