I use the Standard Horizon HX300. It floats, has blinking lights that go on when it hits the water to help you find it, it's very easy to use, and it's compact. West Marine is selling it for $129. I bought mine for $149 after research. I haven't used any other ones but highly recommend this radio. Not sure if the one your looking at is compact or not but a small radio is the way to go especially if your going to wear it. You can see that I'm wearing mine on my PFD in my avatar photo. ALSO.... West Marine offers an awesome 3 year warranty on electronics that I highly recommend.
