GMRS Radios?

Does anyone use GMRS radios for communication, or does everyone use
marine VHF exclusively?

I'm wondering, as there are limitations on marine VHF communications and
use on land, and limited channels.

If people use GMRS, I'd be curious to know how they compare to marine
VHF for range, interference, and general usefulness.

Any model; recommendations would be appreciated.  I'm considering these:
