Hi Paul, welcome! Raymarine X5 seems to be most popular and cost effective choice. Now, it's under an iteration with auto calibrate and reportedly with some more gyro data and self learning, though I don't know any express who has it yet.

ST2000 Plus can handle the basic stuff, but the X5 has a gyro which I appreciate going downwind off ocean waves.
