$100 to spend and would like suggestions on GPS modules

Hello,

So I have $100 gift card from www.sparkfun.com to spend and I am trying to decide which GPS module would work best for my purposes. It will be used on first an outdoor land robot then will be proceeded by an outdoor quad copter. So it will need to be as accurate as possible, but easily programmable and compatible with the Propeller chip.

Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

    I wrote a GPS object for this gps. I like it. From my description of the object:
    said...
    Version: 0.3 This is an assembly based GPS driver. It is meant to be used with this GPS: 32 Channel LS20031 GPS 5Hz Receiver. The driver runs in a single cog, and automatically updates the GGA and RMC strings as they arrive on the port. The driver updates the data (in the array), then increments the write count variable (position 0 in arrays). Any programs that are watching should wait until the write count is changed, then immediately copy the following data. Note that the strings will update at different times (right after the last element is recieved).
