The formerly CMC, now Novatel, SuperStarII boards are available in a 
huge variety of update rate, voltage, DGPS etc. options. CMC binary 
support is built into teqc. Boards with raw data go for about 160 US$. 
Novatel is now actively improving the firmware further from the CMC 
state.

Easy to get them in test quantities from gpsetc.com.

The ublox SAM-Lx platform is very good, cheap and small (Once they even 
had Rockwell Board replacements).

The ublox binary raw data format is implemented for straight forward 
RINEX generation. I 'd really like to see ublox binary support being 
built into teqc. There is a Rinex converter available from helenav.com

ublox product documentation is probably the best in the OEM GPS 
industry.
