Find West Marine videos on features to get a baseline for what's available. Read their reviews. See what's said on Amazon for user input.

Consider getting DSC as it's on less expensive units these days. It will kick up the price a tier since it requires the unit to have GPS to pinpoint your location primarily. As an emergency features it's valuable.

Lots of threads discuss its value.

Then consider practical things like battery life, size, floatable... Standard Horizon, Uniden, and Icom seem to lead in popularity.
