Generally use the band of readers that match the controller.

Gallagher with Gallagher, ICT with ICT, etc etc

I agree. Some manufacturer's offer Door Controllers with Reader bundles. So whatever is in that kit, is usually more cost efficient than buying the Door Controllers and Readers separately. Many Installers may remember Northern Computers would bundle with OmniProx readers. Infinias offers HID readers or a 3xLogic branded reader, so there is some variety.
