The G1 with out question and I have owned the G2, find one cheap as possible best bang for your money but that is just my opinion   

I did notice that even today the HP Reverb G1 is well recommended for PCVR (especially for sims) in other forums, Reddit, etc. It's said to be not "user friendly" for beginners but is an excelent bang for the buck (second-hand market). Some very good opinions, but also some concerning ones (fragile cable and problematic cable clip, heat issues, etc).

Anyway, as there's nothing else as good for the same reasonable price (in the E.U.), I've bit the bullet and bought a Reverb G1 for 260€ on Ebay (30 days return if any problems). Supposedly in very good condition, has been tested and is complete, with original box, manual and everything.   We'll see how it goes.
