Thanks guys.. I ended up wrecking my daily driver Monday night, so it may be a while before I can afford a radio. It's been a somewhat stressful week!

Well, nobody was hurt... The first inspection showed damages equalling 40% of the value, but we won't know for sure if it's fixable or not until they get it on the rack and start pulling it apart.

Okay, I think I've narrowed my search down! I'm going to start off with a mobile unit. I'm thinking about a Yaesu FT2800M. Now I just need to figure out what ant to buy...  Any information you may have will help!
I will get a HT eventually, probably a VX-170.

as for antennas, I've had very good results with the Larsen NMO 2/70 BK and the NMO Kit (coax with end connectors). About $60 total.
I've also had great performance with the Larsen NMO 2/70 SH (shortened version with a spring loaded base).
If you'll be mounting somewhere with poor ground plane (say your front/rear ARB bumper) you might consider the Diamond NR7700 - this 1/2 wave antenna works phenomanally well (get the matched coax, it is a key component of the system).
Good luck!
