Default alarm system

which model of cillford or viper is good to get and if possible to get two remotes like the ones where it gives you the remote that looks like a cell phone and another lil cheap one? i just searched and somebody suggest compustar. is that a better alarm system ?
also wheres a good place to put the proxi sensors? my uncle car had proxi sensor that just kept on going off and was really annoying and i want barely any false alarms. or is it best not to get proxi sensory

I have the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5 w/ remote start. It has the "cell phone" style pager you mentioned. I love this alarm, though the range could definetely be improved on. A lot of people also told me to get the Compustar alarm, since the frequency it uses is supposedly a Canadian frequency or something not commonly used in the US, so the range is much higher without much interference.

I have a Compustar and the range is damn good. I had a solid connection one night in downtown at a bar/club. I parked the car on the street (one of the few safe, free places to park) about 1/2 mile away and a clear connection. I wouldn't have had that with my old Viper in my other car.

Prox is installed underneath the center console (between the driver/passenger seats).

I have a Clifford 10.5, and the range is nowhere near what is advertised. I'm lucky if I get one block with wood structures in the way.

I have a proximity sensor installed in the center console with a hardwired switch under the dash to turn it off if necessary. I found that it will interfere with my Wi-Fi connection when parked in my driveway.
