Consider your environment when choosing which frequency you’ll need.
If you use your radio inside the buildings, or there are many obstructions around you, then the UHF radio is best. These radios work well for business such as hotel, restaurant, schools, office building and etc.
VHF band radios work well when used outside on open land or rolling hills with few trees. If you use the radios for a business like farms and ranches, golf courses,

In the same environment, digital mode with the longer range and better voice. You should consider your contruction size and your team size.
If you don’t have too much budget on radios, choose the Analog mode radio will be your good choice. If you choose the analog mode radio, please don’t worry about the range, if the handheld radio can’t meet your communication range require, you can build a repeater.
If you don’t care about the budget, you can choose the digital mode radio. Offer you further distance communicate.
