+1 on the SH GX2200. I installed a couple and the owners love them. I have a SH GX2150. Nice VHF.
Personally, I'm not sure I'd like a wireless remote mike. I have the wired RAM mike and love it. It's definitely not going over the side. AIS is nice but no substitute for radar and a diligent watch. IMHO the vessels that have AIS transmitters aren't as dangerous as Bubba party barge or butt floss express cruiser without AIS. Dennis C.
