Take the advice from Ronnie, look at murs radios. Can buy them on ebay, but stay with the name brands - icom, kenwood, moto, etc.
CB - way too much noise and interference due to AM rather than FM. Plus you need a long antenna to work well. No good.
GMRS/FRS - that is the current Moto/cobra/etc blisterpack radios. Work well but not very durable. Line of sight that may not be good in hilly terrain. Run around 1W of power for GMRS. Most blister pack radios will not work on a repeater. You can get a used commercial class repeater and have it programmed for GMRS fequencies (Moto Desktrack for instance) and place the repeater antenna up high, then all the units can calk together. Works well but can be expensive. You need a license to run GMRS, but not for FRS.
MURS - can be programmed in a Mil-spec commercial radio that can be bought relatively cheaply. Uses VHF so a bit more capable of dealing with hills... Run 5W of power so a lot more power than GMRS. That is the best choice for point to point.
