UH-60's and cessna caravans would be my choice.

My choice would be the Cessna Caravan.  There has been talk around the place about these a/c being the best choice. They would be a nice addition to our fleet.

and the best thing is it flys just like a 172/182, about the same v speeds too.

my .02c

Hang onto the C172. A bit underpowered with four on board, but a really reliable aircraft thats very cheap to run. Turbine equipped caravans have more complex engine management (no FADEC remember).

well tash first off welcome,
second engine management in the caravan is just as easy as in a 182. the checklist is even shorter in he caravan than the 182.

I stand corrected. In my limited FRA-150L flying experience I thought that the turbine mgt in the Caravan looked a tad more complicated then flying pistons.
