Drum triggers

I need to get a trigger for using on the kick drum. There are quite a few different types & brands to choose from. Are there any that are better than others?
I will be connecting it to an Alesis DM Pro (simular to the DM5).
Cost is not a priority, I want the best one available.

Drum Triggers

OK, so I am starting my own little studio (really little) and I am looking for somewhat cheap ways to get a really clean really powerful sound. My friend said he recorded with a guy that uses a small pro tools set up and uses triggers for the bass drums and toms. I listend to the recording and holy sh*t was it good!

For MIDI Triggering Accuracy, You'd Recommend...

I'm going to purchase a new module. I'll be using ddrum triggers on an acoustic kit, and going via midi into pro tools. I'm not sure if there is latency on these machines, but I want it to be as accurate as possible. I don't need any onboard sounds. That being said, which module would be the best, if any of these, and why.

Triggering in Redrum

Hey ro'ers, I need some help. Does anyone know how I can set up my drum machine to trigger drums on reason? I have a Boss DR. 880 and I have it synced to Reason to where it controls playback, but I need some guidance in trying to get the DM (drum machine) to act as a triggering device. Is there anything that I would need to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
