1. Any experience in the best aftermarket XM reciever?

3. Should I wait till the recordable unit is out and is that different than the little ones that record 5 hrs?

I think it comes down to how much of a maniac you are about integration and loose wires. All the after market stuff, while good and inexpensive, will never be as integrated. If that's worth $800 to you, you should get it. I use my iPod in the AUX jack and it works great. I've got the iPod sitting on the passenger seat with a $3 cable attached.
