I put a Sony in mine.  It skips once and a while but recovers very quickly
where it left off.  It doesn't annoy me.  I picked Sony because they
seem to put more research into ergonomics on all of their products. The volume
and mute buttons sit perfectly near my finger tips when I rest my
hand on the stick shift. Also, the look of the Sony's seem to match the 
look of the Miata interior better than any of the other decks I looked at.

The price was around $375 for the deck through Crutchfield.  I highly
reccommend them.  They generaly price their products %15 below list
price and don't charge sales tax outside of Conneticut(sp?).  Shipping is
also free(I think) and it only takes about a week to get your equipment.  They
also have the most complete line of power and speaker harnesses and mounting
brackets I've ever seen.
