I think your best bet is to find a cheap S3 around $80 and start mining with that.  It's a lot more profitable than a usb stick miner. 

If you are set on a stick miner than sidehack has a really good device coming out you can grab and mess around with

The s-3 is stand alone just needs an Ethernet jack and a decent power supply.

In order to make profit 8 cents a kilowatt is good

I would agree it really depends on price of electricity.  We can't say S3+ overall... as for some it will lose them money.  I hate suggesting to someone a device that has no chance at ROI.  Even a small chance is better then no chance.

And I agree on decent PSU.  Some new to mining use horrible PSU's the worst thing I saw in past week is like 3 year old PSU and using molex to pcie adapter.

Get a PSU that can handle what ever miner you get and get proper amount of PCIe power cables (not adapters but cables)
