I actually don't know much about eclipse but you I wouldn't recommend pioneer. Their Navi is based off of TeleAtlas which old and outdated. The navi is also played from a DVD, so you can't watch a DVD movie at the same time while using the navi (I think you can do just one preset route without the dvd)... and it only has one slot for dvds... when I believe eclipse has two... specifically for that purpose.

When I get one I'm personally going to go with Kenwood. Their navi is based off of Garmin's which is NavTeq which is the best and most up to date map system. The maps are also stored in the unit itself... not some crappy dvd. They are a bit more expensive I believe but I mean if you're gonna spend that much money... might as well toss a little more to get the best.
