The antenna will also make or break a CB. The "cell phone style" antennas are a little sleaker but don't get the same reception as the longer, whip-style antennas that you see mounted on the side-mirrors of the big rigs. You can get shorter "whip" antennas that can mount to your mirror, rear bumper, roof, etc.
Uniden is a good brand -- I had one in my Bronco and never had a problem with it. It also depends what features you want as well...some come with PA's, external speakers, etc. You can spend anywhere from $20 to several hundred on a CB.
