I've probably personally spent more than anyone in this forum on GPS technology...Trust me - I'm a pilot! :)
Anyhow - for cars, I've always enjoyed the Kenwood line. Alpine, Pioneer, Eclipse - they all have some form of premium product, but the nice thing about Kenwood has been their licensing and inclusion of Street Pilot Technology into their 2din NAV line. The downside is that updates on a dash mounted unit could always be a little slower or out of date than portables unless you have creative means for an update.

If recency of information is your deal, then Garmin Portables are probably best. You can't find an easier interface to use.
Iphones are fine and I use mine more than most...it's just...so inferior by comparison to what Garmin offers. The downside to Garmin is realtime context.
