Is anyone doing wireless telemetry here? What are you using?

I posted this in the wireless section but no response so thought better to post it here.

My radio is JR X9503 radio 2.4GHz and I plan to implement FPV also by using the output of the gopro and 5.8GHz? on that so it seems 900MHz is my best choice for XBee but which adapter is best to go with?

An Adafruit adapter board on the aircraft side, and a Sparkfun USB adapter board on the ground/laptop side with a USB cable.

Two DIY Drones XtreemBee adapters, with a FTDI cable on the ground.

What is the difference? What is working better?

I am using Dragon Link UHF for my radio, and I am using Lawmate 2.4Ghz for my video. I am also using 2.4 Ghz XBee modules. I just programed the Xbee's to work on a channel that would deconflict with my video. So far I haven't gone long range yet but it appears that the video and the telemetry do not interfere with each other.

I am using your first adabter config described.
