Best Diag/Reset/Scan/Actuation Tool to buy?

Hello All,

Was wondering if anyone can suggest the best economical tool for scanning for codes, resetting alerts and actuating components such as brake ABS etc.
I've looked at Foxwell and also the PC based Cable. Looking to you guys who have used these tools and can recommend tohe one(s) with these features.
Thanks!

Launch X431 pro works beautifully on the BMW's ( almost identical to ISTA with all the options available. Its cheap enough and it comes in Android unit.

So it activates most modules, e.g. the brake system during a flush to get rid of bubbles if any?
Thanks!
