I use a Baofeng UV5R (~$45) with an earbone earpiece w/finger PTT (mic and earphone in one, ~$15). It has served me well in the woods.
I route the wiring inside my BDU shirt with the PTT down my left arm and around the base of my index finger so that I can trigger it without taking a hand off my rifle. I use the strap of my glove as a strain relief for the PTT wire.
I had no luck with the USB programming cable (most have clone Prolific USB chips that have lousy driver support), so I would recommend a serial port version (with a serial-USB adapter if necesssary).
