Either a Garmin Oregon 600, or 64s. If you shop around and take your time either can be found for about $200 on sale. Some of the less expensive versions are lacking, the more expensive versions have other options like camera's and built in 2 way radio's. Some expensive versions have bigger screens, but don't do anything the Oregon 600 or 64s don't do as a GPS.

The 64s also has an external antenna which is supposed to pick up satellites a little better in heavy cover. Supposedly more rugged too, but the Oregon has a slightly bigger screen and lots of people are used to touch screen. Touch screen doesn't work with gloves. You'll be more likely to find the 64s at a better price too.
My wife and I volunteer for a SAR team and I have one of each. In reality I can't tell any difference in performance. We use both on searches to document exactly where we've searched and I use one or the other when hunting or hiking. I don't really have a preference. On searches we often don't have access to maps. Get a call at 10PM and hit the woods in a place I've never been at midnight for an all night search. Probably because of the value for the dollar I see more 64s's being used by others on searches than everything else combined. Some state agencies have the use the Rino. But I don't know anyone paying for their own that goes that expensive.

Instead I use mine more often to lay down tracks of where I've walked each day and download them onto my computer at the end of the day. Combined with Google Earth they are a great scouting tool. And while I don't need it to get home, it does often show me a quicker easier route to get where I'm going.
The unit is basically useless until you download some maps for it. There are some free maps that work great for many states. In other places you'll have to pay. I have all of the Southeastern states for free and found a free one for a search we did in Indiana. I had to pay $80 to get one for Colorado though.
