Best sensor suite right now?

I am looking for suggestions for the best autopilot/quadrotor MEMS sensors available now, or over the next 4-6 weeks. The Invensense MPU-6000 looks good, but I'm having trouble finding a mag (HMC5843 has been discontinued; there is no inventory anywhere).

Anybody know when the new ST parts (LSM303DLH + L3G4200D) will actually be avail?

The MPU6000 won't be available till June (we'll be among the first to offer boards with them).

We're liking the MPX5100AP a lot. See this data from one of the team.
