Personally I use a laser range finder and couldn't be happier. It gives the yardage to the pin, distance to 150 marker, bunkers..anything you can bounce a laser off of it works. You learn to be steady unless you have a condition which prevents it then you should go with gps.
I have both GPS and Bushnell laser. Prefer the laser. Can't tell you how many times someone in my group will say "146 to the pin" using his GPS. I 'shoot' it with the laser and say "more like 154 to the actual pin". That's almost one club different for most golfers. At least I can't blame the yardage!!!
