What code reader?

Hi All,
I am looking for a code reader that will read OBDII,ABS codes and it wood be great to be able to read air bag codes too but not a must. My wifes car a 98 Chevy malibu, has a abs light on all the time and would like to fix it but also looking for the best bang for the buck. Would like to get some thing that will work on the truck too or a computer base program; but don't what to brake the bank.
Thanks
Glen

I have been looking on amezon.com and other sites. I found one pc base program but the one that had every thing that need it was going to be $1300. That is a little steep. I looking around 200-300 but will see. still looking.

LOL, Not yet, I am too cheap, luckily I have not needed an OBD2 yet, but that day is rapidly coming, I had thought about the 6000 about a year ago, all reviews were positive, now I will do the 7000.
