I use the Uniden Mystic and I absolutely love it.
To address the 'issue' of having your VHF/GPS in a heads-up arrangement like you would your FF, here is what I constructed: (sorry, no pics, but bear with me)
Everyone knows about the Scotty products. Well I bought a mount and modified it to 'holser' a VHF in a heads-up way; basically I whittled down a block of wood and put a big U-bracket into it and bolted it down to the Scotty platform in lieu of a FF. Then I got the Scotty Triple-bar and I can hold the FF, the VHF/GPS and a rod holder all side-by-side in front of me.
But back the the Mystic; I definately recommend it and love having a GPS unit out on the water. I'll leave the FF behind before I fish without GPS at this point.
