For GPS I've got a Garmin 60CSX which I wouldn't have a problem saying it is the best although there are others that are just as good, and some like the Rinos for their additional capablity of communicating with other Rino users.

Would opt for a Leica rangefinder if money was not a factor as they get pricey.
