The Oregon would be an excellent choice, already discussed a few times in these forums. I would not get the 200 though. You want the 400T, which is best for caching.

You list contains all good units. I am partial to the Oregon since I own one. Which model would depend on your style of caching. In SE Wisconsin, I have not had need for a topo map, but I have downloaded free road maps of the US which work great. In addition, you can create custom maps from google earth and they have or are introducing Birdseye, which is satellite image maps. I would suggest looking at the Oregons without maps.
One side note, if you do a lot of Earthcaches, the 550 has a camera built in.
I was on GSAK and was looking at uploading to the oregon and I didnt see the 400t I seen everything eles and was wondering if it compatible
I have owned all of the above execpt the 200, I had the 300 and the 450. If you go with a Garmin there are free maps so you do not need the T. Out of the garmins I liked the Dakota 20 the best. There is a problem seeing it in the sun and when driving. I went back and am staying with the Delorme PN-40 and already have a PN-60 on pre-order. If you would like I could help you out with maps if you decide to go with the garmins. Again do not buy a T, the free maps are actually better than the Topo’s garmin has. I also will be selling a like new PN-40 when I get my PN-60.
Thanks
