Just depends what you want to spend . I have a 1242xsv and like bigger screen . Some that buy smaller ones upgrade to bigger . Not that complicated to install if your half way mechanically inclined and can read instructions . Most people can install in a couple hours and most charge hundreds of dollars to do it .:twocents
X2, easy install if your mechanically inclined.
1222 touch, is what I have.

I installed mine, not difficult. Read the instructions, lay it out and make sure it is like you want it and then put it in. Screen size is a matter of choice. I've got the 93sv. I'm good with it.
A bit of advice . Do not use zip ties to fasten cables . Use black electrical tape as zip ties can damage cables on Transducer . The tape is what most use to hold cables to trolling motor shaft .
This is VERY sound advice. However, the newer transducers being shipped have a more robust solid round cable instead of the old thinner more flat cable and from what I am told Garmin is now saying you can use zip ties except at the pivot point on the trolling motor. They want the electrical tape there for more give I guess. All that being said, I would still just use the tape.
