Definitely the YJ. Your stock battery hold down is all you need. A CB is a worthwhile investment as you are clueless as to what is going on without it. You can get one and a magnetic antenna very cheap. I just put a cigarette lighter plug on mine, and you can have it all hooked up in 5 minutes.

The TSC (Tractor Supply Co) in York has some really nice recovery straps, just make sure you don't buy a tow strap (especially one with a metal hook built into it).

Recovery straps are made to stretch and give a recoil action to help get you unstuck. They will hold up to jerking, unlike a tow strap which is more prone to breaking when used in an offroad recovery.
