I'm looking to do away with using my phone to map rides,ii'd like to get a cycle computer, what would you guys suggest and why?

Depends o whether you want maps or just tracking your rides?
Garmin edge 200 will do the later with the usual speed,distance etc and you can create breadcrumb trails for routes.

If you look at the Garmin range you should find one that fulfils your needs but they are a little pricey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy has reviewed virtually every device that has come out so you may pick up some ideas, especially as to the differences between models.

I've got a Garmin Edge 200 and love it! Simple to use and good accuracy.

As above, it really is down to what you want to spend. I have a Garmin 510 and it's so much better than using my iPhone. Depends what you want from it too.

+1 for the Garmin Edge 510.
It shows and records all the data I will ever need and it Bluetooth connects to my phone. At the end of a ride it automatically pings all the data onto the Garmin site, which then syncs it all onto Strava. Brilliant!
Battery life is very good as well.
