Best Temporary Cell Phone Service in HK

What is a good cell phone service to go with in Hong Kong If I'm staying for 2 to 3 weeks? I know there's prepaid services, but don't know which one is cheapest and have good service. Internet is a necessary. How much data plan does mongering use?

Last time I went to 7-11 and got a PEOPLES sim card with 80 minutes for something like $60HK
I didn't use any data though, but it was an option. I love how cheap it is in HK.

If you got to call long distance to the states or anywhere else then i would get the PCCW international one for like $100HK or something like that.  If for local peoples works great.  Data on the phones is expensive the best rate i've found is from 3 for the prepaid price.

Ok thanks for the help! I'm going to do more research from what I got from youtwo!
I'm assuming the service is decent with these prepaid services?

if your home cel provider is a member of the Bridge Alliance, then you can get really cheap call, text and data roaming among alliance members... https://www.bridgealliance.com/

they have unlimited data roaming as well https://www.bridgealliance.com/Bridge-dataroam_plans.aspx

The biggest players, based on the number of prominent stores I see on Sai Yeung Choi street in Mong Kong, are CSL, 3, and PCCW.  I myself had a prepaid CSL SIM for this go around and it came with a data plan.  People's is a subsidiary of China Mobile now and I didn't see much of them.
