Whether mounted, static, vehicle or handheld, the more power the better the performance - i.e. clearer transmissions and longer working range. Wherever possible, you should look at buying/using the highest power available (even if that means going on eBay to buy what you want from overseas). There are a great deal of website out that that can advise on brands etc.
