Satellite phone vs SSB radio?

Heres the regs page 84 covers radio communication

Wondering about ssb radios but confused by the frequencys and power/ antenna/ backup power requirements.
Is a satellite phone a direct and complete replacement for the SSB radio? If thats the case it seems best to just buy a phone and prepaid plan?
Or even better, this

I understand that other boats won't hear your calls for help as its a direct call to the coast guard.

Any advise? Either affordable SSB radios of the correct power/frequency or recommendations for sat phones / plans.
