Which one is the best OBD2 scanner for C200 CGI ?

I bought my scanner on Ebay. They vary in price depending on their features eg fault codes given as numbers or text. Mine is a Autel MaxiDigag EU702 bought a few years ago for between $200 -$300 .
The main thing is to make sure the scanner is compatible with your car. The advertising should specify this. eg OBD11 compliant European Brand vehicles including Can Bus. MB 1995 to 2006.
Some people have two, a small cheap on for in the car & another one for the workshop.

snowmuch's thread show a photo of Torque Pro running off a Bluetooth OBDII scanner. You may want to ask him directly how much info he actually gets from the scanner.

Using this OBDII scanner on my M3 (in another country) and it works fabulously, and a smartphone can retransmit the screen, as snowmuch has done, onto the aftermarket 8" nav system. Looks great, shows important codes, like the vanos (variable camshaft timing in BMW-speak) module is becoming unsoldered, which causes massive M3 engine failures.
