Those two suggestions are adequate. I prefer the Wouxun over them though. These are the cheap options to be honest. Most of them come with a charger and one battery, but buying a spare battery is recommended and you can also get a high gain antenna for about $10 - $15 more, which I've had great success with. Certainly not necessary for out here, but it helps.
After you get your radio figured out, then it's headset time. You want to be able to hear your radios, but you don't want the opposing team to. There are some decent clone ones, but make sure they're comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Or you can go the real steel route (recommended). There's a place in Burnaby called Norquip, they have a surveillance earpiece and PTT that works well, I think they're about $80 or so, plus the sized molded earpieces for about $10 (also recommended). Good comms change the whole dynamic of the game, but now you can see airsoft getting expensive. Ask for things for Christmas. lol
