The Grant xl is a fine radio. Set the AM dead key for 2 watts swinging maybe 10-14 watts, SSB peak wattage at 14-18, and your ready for an amp. Any small 2 pill (final) amp will work. Best bet would be something that's class AB or B. I prefer a switched SSB delay but many small amplifiers have auto SSB which can be ok.

As far as which brand amp, tough call. A blue face Palomar 225/250, Texas Star 250/350, Messenger amps, and Bulletproof are all decent performers. There are many more to choose from.
