Do you want some static bat detectors to record bats on site?

What sorts of detectors are most useful - a) handheld for batwalks (like Magentas but both better and free) or b) static recorders (like AudioMoth but maybe marginally better and free) or c) USB microphones for use with iPhone, like Echo Meter Touch but (apart from Auto ID) better and free.
