Nice to think that you'd be rational and calm in an emergency situation, but the truth is that at first you're going to be panicked and pressing everything. Even worse if it's night out.
I'd recommend something like this:
McMurdo Fast Find 210 Personal Locator Beacon with GPS - Free Shipping at REI.com
No fee, waterproof to 33', strobe incorporated, but most importantly- ONE BUTTON. When it's on, you know it, and it stays on. Food for thought.
