Too much choice

I'm looking for an HD min-cam to mount in a glider cockpit and possibly externally. The GoPro has rave reviews but no LCD for aiming or playback (although you can buy an add-on for £90, making a very clunky piece of kit). Not sure if it has remote IR either. The Oregon ATC9K does have a screen and is more streamlined, has IR and is waterproof to 20ms without a separate housing. Some reviews slate the quality of the mounts/brackets, though and battery life is 50% of the GoPro. The Drift HD170 has IR and a screen but is a bit larger.

Does anyone have any experience with the Oregon or the Drift and/or comment on the relative quality of output?
