I bought a GMRS bubble pack (Cobra) instead of UHF for one reason: it comes as a set, therefore I can use it outside of airsoft for casual comm, or share the spare set with a teammate.

To be fair, for fields the size of FR, and for mostly listening in (as opposed to regularly communicating) on team channel, higher end bubble packs are adequate.

UHF are still superior all around as far as performance goes, but for those that do not have a use for them outside of airsoft, they may seem less "functional". Still, I think about retiring my GMRS for UHF all the time.

P.S. I'd recommend Motorola over Cobra, if only because Motorola have better OEM and aftermarket headset support.
