choosing an accelerometer for collisions

choosing an accelerometer for collisions

I currently have an ADXL345 accelerometer.
For a project, I need to be able to detect if my device has a heavy collision with a wall/ hard surface. I need to trigger other events on a big collision. Which accelerometer with a range up to 200G would be the best? ADXL193? I'm using an Arduino Uno, so i'd prefer if it could easily be integrated with existing library/ code.
Appreciate any help. Cheers
