I used to have a top of the line Honeywell that was really nice, but a few years ago we put in radiant hydronic heating with four zones, so I bought three quite inexpensive Climate Technology thermostats and kept the existing Lux 9000 thermostats. All of them perform well so I'd say it doesn't matter too much. They also have A/C mode which we don't use. I also like that the Climate Technologys have Indiglo lights when you press any button. One decision you have to make is if you want a thermostat that has weekly+weekend scheduling, or individual daily schedules. I find the individual schedules to be a PITA when you need to change them.
Dakota, I can assure you that it is well proven that for most homes setting back the thermostat saves a significant amount of money and energy.
