After check several WordPress plugins for Google Analytic I picked Google Analyticator plugin. Most of other Google Analytic plugins are not tested for current WordPress version. Also This plugin has 130 ratings comparing other plugins 10-70.  Also it has bunch of nice features too,

• Supports standard Google Analytics tracking via the latest async tracking methods (faster and more reliable than the older ga.js tracking method).
• Includes an admin dashboard widget that displays a graph of the last 30 days of visitors, a summary of site usage, the top pages, the top referrers, and the top searches.
• Provides a widget that can be used to display visitor stat information on the front-end.
• Supports external link tracking of all links on the page, including links not managed by WordPress
• Supports download link tracking
• Supports event tracking with outbound links / downloads instead of the old pageview tracking method.
• Supports hiding Administrator visits without affecting Google Analytics’ site overlay feature.
• Supports any advanced tracking code Google provides.
• Installs easily, only requiring the user know their UID.
• Provides complete control over options; disable any feature if needed.
• Supports localization – get the settings page in your language of choice.

Few facts you should check when you choose a plugin are how many ratings the plugin has, how often they update the plugin, If plugin is tested for your WordPress version / current WordPress  version.
