So basicly the radios are the 2 packs that you can pick up at any electronics store. Out of those which ones would you recomend?

You'll need to do a comparison on features but I've had good experiences with Motorola's, Cobra's and Uniden's. I'm not saying all the models those brands sell are good enough, but there are more than a handful of models that will serve you well on the airsoft field as well as on the road if you need to communicate between cars.
Some of the things I look for are:
-type of battery. I like ones that come with a rechargeable battery pack but will also allow the use of alkalines if on the road. My Motorola's have a rechargeable pack but I can also use AAA alkalines or NiMH AAA's that can recharge in the radio.
-models that have charging stations as well as the ability to charge them independently if possible. ie plug it directly into a wall wart but that's not 100% necessary. Charging station keeps things neat and tidy at home. I'm not too big on the dual station as when you're on the road, having independent charges allows the radios to stay at 2 different locations 100% of the time.
-NOAA, having a radio that receives weather updates is nice to have.
there are more features that I try to aim for or would like to have but then again, a radio is a radio. If it can clearly communicate with another unit, it's sufficient.
