HR Monitor - with or without strap?

I would like to get an inexpensive heart rate monitor so I am hoping to get such general advice about which type (at the moment its either an inexpensive one or none at all unfortunately so I am not looking at any of the 'good' brands like Polar etc).

I am not sure what type to get - one with a sensor on the watch that records your pulse through your finger, or one of the wireless chest strap ones - I am guessing that the strap ones might be more accurate but I can't imagine them being comfortable to wear during vigorous activity (like kickboxing/Tae Bo).

Thanks

Michelle
