Cheap Comms - Baofeng Radios

Would this be a good start, or should I be looking at newer models?

ETA: This is what hung me up both previous times I started this process... Too many damned choices, and not enough knowledge.

I have that radio. Looking back, it would have been nice to have the 8w Baofeng, and waterproof, but for the money, the UV-5R cant really be beat.

So the 8w upgrade uv-5r+hp (or whatever the model is/are) or the uv-82's? Only $6 bucks more for a 5-pak of UV-82's.
