i have had 4 different gopros. i have a hero 3 silver and a 3 black both work great and take full hd. but if i was going to buy another i would look at the new sony action cams. they have some nice features and are cheaper then the gopro. the active stabilization caught my attention. if you do go gopro look for a coupon. when gopro is at shows and conventions they often offer $100 off when you sign up with your email.
