If you have the money I would get the higher end radios so you don't have to worry about upgrading to a stronger radio.
I purchased the Uniden 520xl and I didn't know how much this little radio was going to save me, if I would of known from the get go how well the CB saves you I would of just bought me a high end radio and wouldn't of worried about a small CB, but the Uniden still works awesome, but if you want to sound like the big boys then you need a good CB.
Rule of thumb you can have a high end radio, but when it comes down to it the antenna is what's going to make you or break you.
Once you get your CB peaked and tuned and you want to hear farther and talk farther then you start looking into amps and that's a whole different world there, but go with your gut feeling and ask some truck drivers what they are using, because they use their CB's day and night and they can stir you in the right direction.
You can also go to your local trusted CB shop and I mean trusted CB shop, because there are a lot of them out there to rip you off and especially if you are a noob, but you can always get one used with a lot of high end little add ons that you won't get when you buy new.
