check out the samson airline 77 with ax-1 transmitter:

i've been using this for some time now, and it works great.  note that
it is a single frequency model, which could, in theory, cause problems
if others are using the same hardwired frequency.  in practice, i've never
had a problem with it.

others have mentioned a new system, somewhat digital, that sounds
interesting.  but i don't recall what it is.

whichever system you go with, i *highly* recommend wireless.  being  
untethered is a really great thing.  i especially like being to walk  
out in the bar to check out volume levels, which are hard to get right  
from onstage.
