Either the Sennheiser EW300 G3 IEM which is around the £850 mark, or the Shure PSM400 at around the £600 mark. Make sure you get one that is compatible with the new 2012 regulations. Not sure if the PSM400 is available in that format at the moment, the Sennheiser one definitely is.

Brands that I've worked with and would trust: Sennheiser is always top for me, followed closely by Shure and Trantec. That's not to say that the other brands aren't any good, it's just those are the ones I've worked with and had no problems with.

Then you're looking at around £250 for a moulded set of ear buds, but you might want to try some of the off the shelf ones. My ears can't seem to hold off the shelf ear buds in for any length of time so I had to get moulded, but you can save yourself a bit of money if your ears are ok with them

Of course, you can get cheaper wireless transmitters, and they work fine for the most part, but on a personal level I've had difficulties with them in the past, and so I tend to recommend the more expensive options. Of course, the more expensive ones should last a good long while

If you want to go wired, you can get a stereo belt pack for around the £150 mark and you won't have any interference from anything, but then you are tethered. As a drummer and guitarist, I'm always in one place, or already have a cable trailing around after me, so I go for the easy wired option

Hope that helps.
