You probably can't go wrong with Harmony One or URC's line. Logitech is easier to program but not as functional or programmable as URC's line. If all you need to do is turn on your receiver, change the inputs, then Harmony is fine.
One drawback to URC is that they now went 100% dealer purchase only. So if you get stuck, you're on your own.
I've had Harmony 890, Harmony 900, and URC's MX900.
For me, MX900 wins hands down. But if you're very good with PCs, then you're better of with Harmony. It's not that MX900 is that hard to program, but it's harder than Harmony.
good luck. +1 on the MX-900. SurfRemoteControl (talk to Mike) has the best prices. They are authorized dealers so software is not a problem. To add to the comment above, the programming is a little harder than the Harmony line, but the URC MX remotes are much more flexible and powerful. I have had the MX-500 and MX-700. Currently have the MX-850 and MX-900.

Ray, yesterday at home, cupping his hand to his ear: "Remote? MX-something Remote? Why, it's off to the Axiom boards!"

Good choice, I think you will be very happy with it.

I like my Harmony One and the touch screen makes customizing easy; I have a button on the screen for searching while streaming music through the 3808.

Cool. I have the One now, but it's still in the box. Kind of pointless until I actually get the system hooked up. Still trying to find the right sized power strip (and the time). Right now all that's working is the Roku hooked up to the TV, and they're back to using two remotes: the old Harmony for the Roku (can't find that one's remote) and the "new" TV's remote.

It ain't for me, I don't have time watch TV right now! This is to hypnotize the kids so my wife can get some work done unpacking.
Yes yes, horrible parenting, yadda yadda. As soon as we get settled, they're back to single Sesame Street a day.
