Platinum RTDs are cheap these days and are very stable, but they need
lots of amplification.
Thermocouples are very robust and new chips make compensating them easy,
but they don't have the high accuracy of platinum.

What accuracy and stability do you want?  Look at Analog Devices' web
page (www.analog.com) and search for "thermocouple".
