Which computer?

I am going to be starting mtb again in the near future and want a computer that will also be accurate for elevation changes as there are some bloody big hill around and I want to be able to see if the pain and suffering is worth it.

I haven't cycled for a long time so really just want distance,time and elevation.
I will be cycling in the Pyrenees so I would like it to be as reliable and accurate as possible,at this stage that is about it.
Do I really need more than that as I am not that bothered about wattage,cadence or is it better to have more functions.

Back in the day it was Sigma or Cateye.Have they lost it compared to Garmin and others.

Thanks so far chaps but I'm still non the wiser. I would like to download routes from Uttagawa so will need something able to do that but from your replies there isn't a clear winner.

Well, I've just dug out an old i phone 4s of my kids,now just have to find a decent handlebar mount.For once it looks like I haven't got to spend much money to get going.
