How far are you from the local repeaters? That will help determine the best radio selection as far as watts output for an HT. Also are you going to put up an outdoor antenna or just use the HT with the ducky. If so. I'd suggest getting a better antenna than the OEM antenna that comes with the HT.
You can get decent used 2m mobiles and HT's on Ebay for very little $$.
