I aggree, Amateur is the way to go.
Having been a licensed Technician Class now for many years, I would have to say, by far, you are best with going Amateur. As you have multiple abilities from the get go, being able to use radio to radio, through hundreds of repeaters available almost anywhere. And the ability to carry one small dual band radio (2m / 70cm i.e. vhf/440) you have endless capabilities for using multiple channels.
There is virtually no where you can't go where there isnt at least one 2 meter or 440 machine operating.
GMRS and FRS radios are fine for line of site, but get up in the hills and you step in to a whole new environment. Better to have something that you can certainly depend on. And the Amateur test's are not that hard, a little studying on your part and you will have your technician class in no time.
