I recommend strongly against Saleae, because the original Saleae Logic
is an utter ripoff. They overcharge like crazy for (literally) a textbook
FX2 design and the development of a severely limited closed source Windows
software. The probes are also quite low quality.

Support open source friendly companies and products instead, in the
logic analyzer market that's e.g. http://www.asix.net/ who make the
SIGMA2 devices. The manufacturer is, unlike many others, supportive
of the http://sigrok.org/ open source project.

If you are on a tight budget then you can buy one of the many FX2
boards off eBay for under 15 USD and use it with sigrok and sigrok's
fx2lafw firmware, for up to 24 MS/s 8 channel acqusition, albeit without
external clock. That combination is unbeatable in price/performance,
and I think infinitely better overall, since you can write whatever
protocol decoders you want yourself, with just a little python.
