My B-I-L has been happy with his Yaesu VX 170. He picked it up while on a road trip, grabbed an MFJ mag mount antenna for $25, and used it all the way home. It's a bit large as HTs go but it's not huge, just bigger than a VX 6 or 7.
Some of the guys in my club got a group buy deal on some Icom HTs a couple of years ago. They seem to work really well too, especially with an external antenna.
I would just go to HRO and ask about any HT with full 5 watts of power and preferably one you can use programming software with. They'll be glad to set you up and take your money...
