The Novation SL series are sweet - don't get the compact version though
Depends what you want. Any midi keyboard with knobs and keys and faders should be decent. the m-audio knobs are a bit odd though. they kind of keep twisting... can't really explain... i just use an Oxygen 8 to be honest. I just map the knob i want to automate at any given moment.
CLUB OF JACKS - RELEASES >>TRAXSOURCE
Club of Jacks are a London based House & Garage production / DJ duo with releases on a number of underground labels including Plastik People Recordings, Blockhead Recordings, Hi Energy!, Pocket Jacks Trax, Soul Revolution Records and their own Club of Jacks imprint.
the m-audio axiom pro series. just ordered one, it will self map into most DAW's, check'em out
i've used an oxygen 8 forever with no complaints. i suppose it depends on the kinds of controls you want, key feel, etc...
and i agree with Bento, novation SLs look pretty sweet

I would say just get an oxygen 8, you think you are going to use all these extra knobs, but really in my experience thus far, they keys and a nice mouse (and knowledge of the keyboard mapping) are the most important.

My Virus TI gives me warm fuzzys.
Although it does just a tiny little more than just MIDI..
if you just want it for simple inputting in the piano roll editor then get a m-audio keystation. if you want to do more techincal stuff & also for live production/DJ'ing go for a novation
I have the keystation 66 for Logic, and Novation remote sl for live production
Current Top 3:
1. Loco Dice - Seeing through Shadows
2. Light Year - Sex Education
3. Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions (DJ Pierre Remix)
For a straight UP Midi Keyb. definitely Akai MPK-49 or 25 ...
