In general, which one has better quality to transfer from VHS to a digital format?

I currently have a Magnavox DVD recorder, it's pretty decent. It's cheapest one I could find, since I'm on a budget.
I'd consider getting a TV tuner card, but a) my computer's still on rental (about 3 months to go, then UPGRADE!!!!!) and b) it's not available locally, and we don't have a credit card to order online.
