I am new to this board, but 30 years in ham radio...
To me the best set up is the one you can have the options with.
CB has it's uses, but when out in the woods you need a bit more than that.
VHF and UHF with some extra power and a good antenna, and HF with either several ham sticks or a good screwdriver; a well tuned CB , GPS to give your exact location if needed, a cell phone, even if it is to hold in memory the numbers of whomever you can get to come and help you.
