The full sized UV-5R, again includes all models RA, RC, RE etc.

The rugged UV-82
The budget priced BF-888s 16 CH UHF model.
UV-3R UV-5R UV-5B/B6 UV82 BF-888s
I will let the survey run for a month, perhaps in the comments you will let us know what you like and don't like about them?
Of course if you don't own a Baofeng yet, take a trip down to Hans PD0AC Blog, and do a search for a model which takes your fancy, he has written full reports on most of them:

I know which one is my favourite which is yours?

For obvious reasons the UV-B5, but the UV-82 started to grow on me.

I also think the uv b-5 is the best I have tried, the worst is the bf v85.
The UV-B5 is the best. I like the menu, rotary selector, decent antenna and overall performance. I have used it in pretty harsh conditions(sand, rain, frost) and it never fails.
Hi Steve, for sure it's UV-B5(6) / 27 items menu ver. with latest f/w. Very good front-end (instead of all other Baofengs) and pretty nice design, rugged, for very reasonable price. Can't beat in this price class. 73 - Petr, OK1RP / M0SIS
Hi Petr, I agree a very good model and the S meter works correctly!
