It would be a ok. But I don't like the weight that it says is ideal for the height that you put in

All of the "tools" will give you exactly the same result since BMI is nothing more than a simple height-weight ratio calculation, and the categories of what constitutes "overweight", "obese", etc. are well established.

So you aren't going to find one tool that will tell you your BMI is 2 points lower than another one...

Body fat percentage is a better indicator of whether or not you are a healthy weight, though, since it takes your individual muscle and bone mass into consideration in addition to our height and weight.  You have to have that measured with special equipment, though.
