The drivers from Camtronics are in kit form and reasonably easy to
build. If you aren't too comfortable with electronics, building these
would be much easier than building from a circuit design. I recommend them.

The Gecko drives are assembled for a reasonable price. I haven't used them
but others on the list have with success.

A search of the archives will bring up tons of info on both. This list
will be a great source when you have a question, it takes a lot of pain out
of the process. Many on the list have experience with these drivers and
drivers in general. I think you've come to the right place. :-)
