To start off with, I don't like any of the commonly available commercial
solutions.  They all lack public programming docs.  And these things are
trivial pieces of hardware.

To the average user, I'd recommend uplcom(4).  They are easy to get a
hold of and have (for the most part) just worked for quite a while.

I've also had good experience with uftdi(4), but I have 10 times as
many uplcoms.
