Please answer these questions, as I may be over complicating the issue.
Which type of CB should they buy?
What type of antenna?
Should they have two antennas, one for FM and one for AM?
If some of these questions lead to other questions, it's already more complicated than buying a CB rig before the FCC added FM.

Same antennae, FM vs AM. You dont have to use FM, so buying a dual band radio is up to you.
FM may be clearer, but won't go as far.
Cobra LTD 29 has always been the most popular radio. Now you can buy them with dual band.
Wilson 2000 is a popular antenna.
Now, if I was a newbie the "... is up to you ..." yields more questions. There are physical differences, which you mentioned, and practical ones (what are other in his region using). Again, my point was that the rules have changed, and as a result, there is more to consider.
OK. I guess I thought we were talking about fcc/government rules. Which haven't changed.
If anyone was truly curious, they should probably buy dual band and use them both to see whats what. AM is by far more popular still, but may change.
