Garmin edge is market leader if prepared to pay.
200 500 or 800 series depending on what features you want

Depends what you want to get out of it, e.g. cadence sensor, HR monitor, mapping?

mapping and cadence really is the main points for me

If you want Ordnance Survey mapping then you are looking at a Garmin Edge 800 I think.

If you are happy with open street mapping you could look at Mio Cyclo.

If you can do without the cadence, you could look at Satmap.

Bryton rider 50 or 60 will do the same as garmin 800, and are comaptible with garmin or other ant + sensors. Can be had quite a bit cheaper than garmin and come with uk maps. Less accessories available than garmin eg mounts or covers and tech support can be variable. Im happy with my rider 50 which have had for over a year now.

If your using strava, the data can be different from what you have on your unit to when its uploaded to strava, avg speed and altitude shows up being less, particularly the altitude
