+1 for Harry's. It's not as fancy as the other apps but gets the job done. My only gripe is that the speed readout gets a little inaccurate on the faster courses (without a GPS amp) and the video only records every other lap. It's not really the apps fault but more of how the iPhone is designed. But you have your GoPro for that.
*EDIT* Looks like a new version of Harry's was released and now supports continuous vid! Here's the overlay on the new version.

The data is actually recorded with the video, no merging or after work needed.

That's just an example image from the site but glancing at my phone real quick it has 119 preset tracks/configs for N. America. I think you can even manually set your own triggers to create your own tracks (for situations like autocross).

+1 for Harry's. I just have an Ipod though. I use a TomTom GPS mount, but it's only 1Hz. There are more tracks in their database that you can imagine, too. I have found Harry's to be very accurate considering the price you pay compared to traqmates and things like that. My times are typically within .01 seconds at the worst and that's plenty good for me.
I take video with my GoPro and sync the video and data using RaceRender or Dashware.

I run Standard. Cheap and effective.
As for comparing Harrys to other devices, like the Aim Solo, traqmate, or MHowards RaceChrono, I can't because I haven't had experience with those products but I just like the price and features of the Aim Solo.
For Harrys, I had a device that can time laps already (IPod), and under $100 I have a mount+app. Thats pretty good bang for buck IMO versus the other options.
