Most testing and real life fire ground experience points towards UHF simplex analog for fire ground tactical communications.

Depends on the environment too. Urban settings generally have better success with UHF equipment and rural/open areas generally do better with VHF.

Depends on what you are trying to do with them.

Motorola tends to be much more expensive than other brands, but they have features that are not available in other brands. The ability to do electronic roll calls, evacuations and for the dispatch or command post to see if a radio is dying or changing to another channel.
