Cycleops makes some great trainers. The wind is really not worth it, cause of the annoying noise factor. The mag is pretty nice and reasonably priced. For you high end types, the Fluid trainer is awesome. A bit pricy, but if you are going to be training in the winter, well worth it. Resistance level is adjusted by changing gears. If you are going to be putting your mtb on it, I recommend a slick tire. The noise from a knobby gets a little old, and it wears down the knobs. Either change back and forth, or just get and inexpensive rear wheel with a smooth tire for use with your trainer. Any local bike shop (LBS) worth their salt will let you try a couple out before you take one home.
