Pocketwizard Plus II's are the way to go!
I purchased a Pocketwizard tt1 and tt5 despite reading terrible reviews and I was severely disappointed. They failed on me during one of my photo sessions leaving me quite embarassed. I was using them with a 430EX attached which apparently has the greatest RF interference so I shouldn't have been surprised but I felt that something that costs $430 should perform on command. The flash wouldn't even fire from 10 feet away!
Luckily, Amazon has a great refund policy so I sent them back and ordered the older, but tried and true, Plus II's and I am quite pleased. I know there are less expensive ways to do remote flash but I wanted a system that was proven and reliable since I like to buy things right the first time.
