What's the best digital tuner for Vista Media Center?

What I'm looking for is no hasstle, plug it in, Windows Vista installs it (or manufacturer has proven stable Vista drivers), tune it with Media Center in Vista and it works.

It's going to connect to a HD Samsung LCD TV.

I don't know if I need a dual tuner or not. I'm a beginner.

These are a few I found on Techbuy that sound good to my newbie eyes:

Leadtek Winfast PxDVR3200H Hybrid TV Tuner

Hauppauge WinTV HVR-2200

AverMedia Duo Hybrid PCI-E

The HVR-2200 - no question. It has a higher (anecdotal) strike rate than the other two. Not 100% guaranteed, but pretty bullet proof.
