Gyro Sensor

Has anyone used a gyro with the EZ-B? If so, does one work better than the other? I'm looking at either, the NXT gyro sensor from https://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=NGY1044 or the triple axis from https://www.trossenrobotics.com/p/Triple-Axis-Digital-Output-Gyro-ITG-3200.aspx Any ideas are appreciated
