>>1613587I recommend ones with an actual track record of helping to save people in emergency situations. Don't just look at a few retarded amazon reviews that amount to, "wow it looks great! hope I never need it! 5 stars!!!" Basically, see which ones are recommended by emergency rescuers whose job it is to actually go out and find the people via the beacons. Try contacting a few of these organizations that relate to where you'd be going and see what they recommend. Don't skimp on the expense of PLB/PEBs.

Also, in some locations near oceans or mountains the weather forecast can't predict everything. Weather can change at the drop of a hat from 75F to -5F with white out blizzard conditions or calm seas can turn deadly in only a few moments despite what original weather forecasts had predicted.
