I recommend the BitScope 300U. http://www.bitscope.com/

I got one a week ago and have been quite happy with it. Open hardware,
open protocol, and they are
making an access library to easy incorporating it into your own
software. You can easily trigger on a logic
or scope events allowing you to watch for signals that should trigger
events, or look for noise, sagging
voltages, or other analog nastyness around the point of failure.

My only wish is that they made a DLA 16 channel version of the 300U.
