Can you give us a little more information on what you are trying to build, and what capabilities you are trying to implement? Each of the things you mentioned have different strengths and weaknesses, so it is difficult to give you good advice without some more background information.

im building a biped robot and i want to use these sensors in order to have a self-balancing robot.i m trying to make it walk,run,jump etc.ask me if you want some specific info...do you know any fairly cheap 3-axis accelerometer and a single axis gyro?

the three-axis accelerometer could be used as tilt sensor and the single-axis gyro to detect when the robot falls down.
