I've never really had a computer installed on a bike. I've thought about installing a basic, reliable computer on my road bike as I would like something that tracks distance, speed and odo, like the OP is also considering. Something that always works and requires no managing.
I do usually carry my iPhone, and use it mainly Google Maps and to take pictures. I occasionally use RidewithGPS, but half the time I forget to turn it on, or I lose the connection and it only records half the ride, or I worry it will kill the battery and I don't bother with it. I like having it as an option but it does sometimes feel like techno-creeping on my zen saddle time.
