John,
Your absolute best bet is the Sharp GP2D12 because it outputs
an analog voltage proportional to the distance to a detected
object. However, it wants a Vcc of 4.5-5.5V so you'll need to
put a regulator on it and use the well-known RCX power bridge
circuit used by all "hacked in" RCX sensors. Very simple and
very cool.
