Behringer Eq's

Behringer has good gear and bad gear. Sort of like MFJ, they have some items that are solid and some that are not.
I would stick to what you see recommended to avoid any of their noisier pieces of gear.
I used an Ultracurve and their Intelligates extensively with great results. Their two channel 1U compressors were good enough for a rock show too. Any of those would be just great for ham use.
When you get into the pocket sized wall-wart powered gear that a lot of people like Behringer/ART/Alesis make, you can run into noise issues.
Just don't be too quick to discount mics or other gear as soooo many guys just do not know how to set up properly. W2IHY gear sounds fantastic when dialed in properly, there are tons of people out there that just don't have a clue what to do with them though. The EQ-Plus and the 8band are very commonly misconfigured and sound like garbage in that state.
I've heard RE-20 setups with another grand in rack gear on a FT-1000 sound like mud because the operator doesn't know what he is doing. I've heard $39 Shure mics and a W2IHY box on a FT-897 sound like a broadcast station. It's all in the setup and how the operator's voice works with the gear.

Re: hi fi eq
Sure, just know the passband of your radio as EQ will only really work within the passband range. I actually don't know the width for AM or CB.
You'll also need something like this http://w2ihy.com/ibox.asp to match the impedance of the signal to the radio input.
