I would avoid analog unless you want your neighbors listening to your conversations. they can easily listen with an entry-level scanner. I understand that digital phones are much safer, but can still be cracked if you have sophisticated neighbors. I live in white-trashville, so I don't worry much about junior rocket scientists around here, but a lot of folks do have cb/emergency scanners.
After owning older 900mhz phones by vtech, GE, hitachi, panansonic, and a 2.4 ghz seimens gigaset (bad choice btw), I recently bought a Vtech VT 2931 )2-line for about $100). Works like a champ! It is digital with all of the bells and whistles that I need and it works great with my 802.11b network, and has great coverage in all of my house and for about 100 feet outside in all directions. It also works great with my plantronics headset, which is something I can't say for any of my previous phones.
