Default Scanner advice/recommendations sought

If you want a very versatile analogue scanner I recommend
Icom PCR-1000 with 0.01MHz to 1300MHz gapless coverage.
or PCR-1500 with 0.01 to 3300MHz coverage.
These are PC controlled radios.
However the PCR-2500 is also standalone with a frontpanel included,
and same coverage as pcr-1500.

They are superb radios, spur-wise and quality-wise, and they also
got a 50khz filter and discriminator output, which is great for decoding data
such as satellites and pager/minicall/pocsag and other broadband services.

I got two myself :-)
