Ken,
I haven't much idea about antenna units. The one I use came with the GPS128 and it's mounted on/in the coachroof, so there's only the dome part up top and the cable comes straight inside. Seems to work OK.
On the portable/handheld front, I've still got, and using, an old Garmin GPS III plus. It's a discontinued item now, but it's got a small foldup antenna of it's own, and if you unplug that there's a standard BNC connector that will take the main antenna cable.
Although it's battery powered it's also got a connector for power in and NMEA out.
Mine lives in the grab bag most of the time, but I have used it to great effect.
There must be modern equivalents available.
