Best Hall sensor to use?
Is anyone using Hall effect sensors with their magnet implants?
I tried a simple A3144 with an LM393 (couple of bucks on ebay), but I'm not getting any reading (even straight on south pole), unless I press the Hall sensor against my finger. I think because the A3144 isn't sensitive enough.
Is anyone using a Hall sensor? If yes, what sensor/circuit?

When you looked at it, did you manage to get the HMC5883 to work? It's mentioned in a thread, but then there was no follow up and I'm not even sure you want to use it with magnet implants.
it's not going to get a lot easier than that. Unless you have a raspberryPI and know how to do i2c with python from there.
It required minor soldering (beginner really) and literally within 30 minutes after unpacking I had the whole thing working and spitting out useful code using a modified version of the code that's on this (tutorial) page: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/301
kjwx: if you don't want to make a micro controller do too much crazy stuff, this would make a wonderful starter project. Get yourself an Arduino and a magnetometer and see if you can light up an LED with your implant, shouldn't be too hard to do.
