I bought a Rigol DS1052E 50MHz 2ch scope and I'm so impressed by it, I bought 2 more for work and 3 of my friends have purchased them as well... not to mention countless others on the EEVblog forum ;-) Send me an message and I can tell you where to get one for $420 shipped.
Also the Hantek DSO-2090 is a 2 channel scope, while the other ones mentioned are 1 channel. You should take notice to all of the details. The $60 scope from SparkFun only goes down to 100mV/div, while DSO nano & Hantek DSO-2090 go down to 10mV/div.
It depends how much $ you have to spend. To be honest, the "Digital Oscilloscope DIY Kit" from SparkFun Electronics sells a 1MHz with 8 msps (million samples/second) scope for $60! The $100 DSO Nano is a fancier & prettier, & has the same 1MHz bandwidth, but only 1 msps. Performance wise the SparkFun scope is a lot better, but you have to solder the parts to make it yourself. For $179, that includes S&H, you can get a new PC scope, Hantek DSO-2090, that has 100 msps with 40MHz bandwidth.
The little overshooting leading edge looks like your scope probe is not "calibrated" for your scope. If the scope generates a square wave, hook up the probe and adjust the probe capacitance to give you a "square" wave. I'm actually interested in the Rigol scope, but this nano thing has got me interested now. Which do you prefer when working with the Arduino... which is one of the things I'm also doing.

now put that rigol in your pocket like you can the dso nano.

btw, the Hantek DSO-2090 is a PC scopes. So it's not mobile unless you have a notebook PC. You have to plug it into your PC to see the traces.

No bad for a $90 scope. You can tell it has low bandwidth though.
